A fifty-dollar Amazon gift card listed at eighty

An older post had a fifty-dollar Amazon gift card listed on eBay at eighty or eighty-five. A later post asks why Amazon gift cards can sell above face value. Both posts ask the same thing: who takes a deal that looks like a loss. Years apart, the question is still that one sentence.

The replies are not about a wrong Amazon gift card balance

The replies point at money laundering, not at an Amazon gift card whose balance displayed the wrong number. Checking your own Amazon gift card balance does not answer who would buy above face value. A clear balance figure still does not explain why an Amazon gift card is priced above its face value.

This page does not explain how to list an Amazon gift card

It does not explain how to list an Amazon gift card above face value, or how to complete that sale. A price above face value is not the result of an Amazon gift card balance check. An amount you read is not a reason to list the Amazon gift card.

Neither post gave a balance figure for an Amazon gift card. Fifty to eighty, and eighty to eighty-five, are asking prices. When the asking price is above face value, the holder's next step is still whether their own Amazon gift card can be spent, not how to list it higher.

Who would buy at a loss is the question the replies answer by pointing at money laundering. That explanation does not say whether your Amazon gift card's balance is right. The amount you read only says what is left on this Amazon gift card. It does not say why someone in the market offers more.
