eBay released another gift card deal:
- $50 Kmart e-gift card for just $44 from PPDG; limit 5
Not a bad deal on it’s own, and an excellent deal if you got the 8% bonus Bucks offer today. It’s also from PPDG so you can rack up INK points with the purchase.
This deal appears to have started with around 3000 available, and almost 1000 sold at the time of this writing. It won’t last.
From a reselling standpoint, you can sell these as Sears for 84%. You’ll lose $10 on the sale of $250 Kmart gift cards (pay $220, sell for $210), but you’ll net $17.60 in Bucks, ~$2.20 from the portal, and 5x INK.
Overall a moneymaker of around $10, plus free 1100 INK points. Not bad.
We’ll add this to the list of eBay gift card deals we posted earlier in the bonus Bucks post.
New: Just received ebay promo email, 10% ebay bucks with min. purchase of $50 from now to 9/27 11:50pm PT
Thanks
Does 5x INK just work on PPDG or any other gift cards purchased on ebay through other sellers as well ?
Only PPDG. Even with 5x, losing eBay bucks for GC purchases makes it moot for the most part. Too much risk involved to make it worth it anymore IMO.
oh yeah i was just asking for my purchases till Oct 1st on third party gift cards from other sellers

Can you link where you see that? I can’t find it.
Click on “ebay bucks” under activity on My Ebay. This is written in bold just before the ebay bucks details.
That’s not shocking, the writing has been on the wall since all of the GC changes recently.
Still hurts 🙂 This was the easiest way to meet minimum spend as most other MS opportunities are disappearing.
Bastards. Further decreasing my spending… again.
Ha, just realized I won’t need my 6 different accounts now anymore either.
Using the earlier ebay prize balls (got 2 codes) and 8% bucks was able to score a Kmart for $34, and earning $3.52 in bucks.
Bought 5 cards. Only 3 were delivered!!
Give it a couple days. I got 2, then another 2. Waiting for #5.
who can you sell it to as sears? everybody?
Yup, Kmart and Sears is the same
Thanks a lot, was able to “roll” in 4 prize balls for good measure. What are the odds of more favorable GC prices going forward? If the sellers don’t take up the slack, may be the end of the line for me; thanks again!
Same, and the order status on eBay showed “Delivered”.
I called PPDG at 877-569-1148, gave the agent the last 4 digits of the 3 gc I received, and he was able to look up the other 2.
Bought 5 cards. Only 3 were delivered so far!!!!
Bought 5 cards. Only 4 were delivered so far. Kind of strange! Anybody experiencing this?
Looks like that’s how they work nowadays. I ordered 3. Received 2 very soon. Third came couple of hours later. (I’ve started to think they missed to send me the third one.)
I keep getting the error page “Seller only allows 5 purchases in 10 days” (I bought 5 Bestbuy cards from PPDG last week). Didn’t realize the PPDG limit extends across different gift card brands.
Bummer. There used to be a similar limit https://www.doctorofcredit.com/paypal-digital-gifts-limiting-us-4-gift-cards-per-10-days/ But most people don’t have these types of limits anymore, though I did hear one other recent report that way.
Getting the same message here. Looks like new limits…. again. Really forcing me out of the biz.
