Partial-balance gift cards: can you sell them?
Store and restaurant cards keep their remaining balance; app and gaming codes do not. How to sell a partly used card, what it pays and what can stop it.
GiftSello buys eBay cards directly: 5% deduction, $100 pays $95, verified by a real person and credited to your wallet within 24 hours. Then withdraw it in crypto, or spend it on verified gift cards below face value.
Enter the balance in US dollars. Cards in another currency are converted at the rate shown on the sell page before the 5% deduction. Minimum card value $10 (USD equivalent).
No listing fee, no commission on top, nothing charged for a rejected card.
Face value in US dollars minus 5%, credited to your wallet within 24 hours.

eBay cards are issued per country and currency; the code only redeems in the region it was issued for, so pick the matching country on the sell page.

We buy the card ourselves, so there is no buyer to wait for. The clock starts the moment you submit.
Confirm the eBay balance on the official eBay site or app and note the expiry date if there is one. Enter the remaining balance, not the printed value, if part of it is spent.
Open the sell workspace, choose the country the card was issued for and its currency, then select eBay. The exact USD payout is shown before you enter anything.
Type the claim code — on the back of a physical card under the scratch strip, or in the e-gift e-mail — and the card number if the brand prints one. Everything is encrypted the moment you submit and is never shown publicly.
We never redeem a card to test it. The balance and region are verified by a person and your wallet is credited within 24 hours of an eligible submission — guaranteed.
Withdraw the balance in crypto (24 hours after crediting, identity verified), or spend it on seller-verified gift cards at 8% off. The balance never expires.
eBay is one of the brands GiftSello accepts today, which means the estimate you see on the sell page is the amount you are paid — no bidding, no waiting for a buyer, no "best offer". Submit the card details, a real person checks the balance, and your wallet is credited in US dollars within 24 hours.
eBay belongs to our shopping shelf and is issued for Australia, Canada, France and 6 more. Store and marketplace cards from the shops people actually use.
Most eBay cards get spent on collectibles, trading cards and vintage items, refurbished and new electronics and auto parts and accessories — which is exactly why one you will never redeem is worth turning into money instead.
The cards we see are denominated in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP and USD; whatever the currency, the estimate converts the balance to US dollars at the rate shown on the sell page before the deduction is applied, so you always know the exact figure before you commit.
The deduction on an eBay card is 5%, so a $100 balance pays $95 to your wallet. There is no listing fee, no commission on top and nothing charged for a card that is rejected.
The rate is locked at the moment you submit. If verification finds a different balance than you declared, you are shown a revised estimate and must accept it before anything is credited — the figure never changes silently.
eBay cards are accepted from any country we list on the sell page (Global). Pick the country the card was issued for first, then its currency, and the brand appears with its rate.
The card has to be unused, legitimately yours, and worth what you say it is. If some of the balance has gone, enter what is left; we verify the real figure and a wrong one only slows the payout down.
Approved eBay sales are credited as US dollars you can actually move: a crypto withdrawal from $50 usually goes on-chain the same day
Two minutes of preparation avoids most delays: confirm the eBay balance on the official site, have the receipt to hand if there is one, and type the code exactly as printed. After you submit, treat the code as sold — redeeming or sharing it elsewhere is caught at resale and reversed.
The deduction is 5%, so a $100 eBay balance pays $95 to your wallet. Cards in other currencies are converted to US dollars at the rate shown in your estimate before the deduction is applied. The rate is locked when you submit.
Enter the remaining balance rather than the original face value and say so in the note field. We verify the real balance; where a brand allows partial balances the card is paid at the verified figure, and where it does not you see the reason in My Sales with nothing deducted.
eBay cards are issued for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and 3 more. Pick the country on the sell page — the code only redeems in the region it was issued for, so the country affects the rate.
Wallet credit is guaranteed within 24 hours of a complete, eligible submission — most are faster. Crypto withdrawals are usually sent the same day.
You see the reason in My Sales and nothing is deducted — there is no fee for a rejected card. Typical reasons are an already-redeemed code, a different region or currency than declared, or details we could not verify. Correct the details and submit again.
Yes. The balance is US dollars in your wallet. Withdraw to any crypto wallet from $50 (USDT, Bitcoin, USDC, Ethereum and 25+ coins and networks), after a one-time identity check and a 24-hour cooling period. You can also spend it on verified gift cards below face value.
