Has anyone tried to sell GCs on one of these sites? If you sell it through Ebay you have to pay ebay fees, paypal fees? Not sure what the selling fee would be for one these sites. The only drawback is, last time I wanted to sell eGC, they have a 30 day hold period or something for selling. I have bunch of WM physical GCs that I want to get rid of.

I have sold on Cardpool with no problem. When a grocery near us had 4x fuel points on GCs or something like that, I occasionally bought a GC I had no need for and sold it on Cardpool. Always got the money without problem.

I bought a $75 Subway GC on Raise.com earlier this month. When I tried to add the card to my Subway account, the site told me that the new card was frozen. I called Subway customer service and they told me that the card was involved in fraud, so they would not unfreeze it. I emailed Raise; they issued a refund and asked me to mail the card to them.

Frustrating
I actually trying to sell a Ritz-Carlton gift card right now and Raise has a 45 day hold before they list the card for sell and I've been scammed with Cardcash previously. Trying Ebay now. Just want to sell the card. Not going to be traveling as much and income is significantly lower due to medical expenses. Scammers have ruined so much! I just want as much as I can get from a $126 REGISTERED gift card. Have the buy now at $85 on Ebay.
