The Offer
- Buy $100 eBay e-gift card from Paypal Digital Gifts on eBay for $95. Limit 2 per customer. [UPDATE 6/7/15: Now limit one per customer.]
The Fine Print
- “Limited quantity available” (There appears to be over 19,000 currently available. if I’m correct about that then they won’t be running out too quickly.)
- Unclear how long this deal will be available.
Our Verdict
These are always good deals to add discounts on future eBay purchases.
A few notes:
- Purchases made from Paypal Digital have been earning 5x with the INK card in the past.
- Purchases made from Paypal Digital have been earning portal cashback in the past, though it’s excluded in the Terms. See portal options here.
- You can use eBay gift cards on the purchase of other gift cards in the future.
- Many people get error messages when trying to purchase e-gift cards on eBay. Hopefully this won’t happen to you, but if it does don’t think you’re alone. [UPDATE: On Slickdeals it’s mentioned that using the eBay mobile app can help cure this problem.]
Be sure to use up the $10 gift card that you got from Liberty Mutual when purchasing the 2 gift cards.
HT: Slickdeals
As of June 4, 9:12 PM EDT they’re down to 10,645. At this rate (if they started with 19,000) they’ll last another day.
Yeah, or maybe longer if most people buy right away.
I purchased 2 GCs for myself and then I was trying to checkout 2 GC for my wife using my paypal account as payment option (my wife’s paypal account is locked-shutdown). It always worked in the past, but today I got the following message:
————————————————————————-
We’re sorry, but we can’t send your payment right now
Return to merchant and try a different payment method
We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the merchant’s website and try using a different payment method (if available).
—————————————————————————
Now it doesn’t even let me to purchase anything from ebay where paypal should be used. Is it a sign of something?
Paypal problems…I can’t buy these either this time. Try the ebay app.
How long does it take for Top Cashback to update your account with the purchases from ebay, or anywhere?

NO longer getting 5% back on ink with these. so I would use different card this time.
Interesting. Would you be able to provide us with some screenshots to this effect? If you can I’d appreciate it ([email protected]).
About every third order I place with them, I’m missing one code being mailed to me. Happened with Sears and EBay codes. Having a hard time getting PPDG to respond other than generic emails. Ordering is easy; receiving, not so much
Check spam, may help. Also be sure the email PP has with you is the same and not forwarded (or check spam in the original email).
I’ve done all that. It seems that I only get one of two purchased in an order some times. Still trying to sort it out with them.
I got error messages when purchasing thru paypal digital gifts. I did talk to paypal, and the CSR said it’s security protections from their system, and it should be cleared soon which never happened. They can’t even lift it after I verified my identity. Personally I think they banned me. Security purpose is just an excuse.
Yeah, I can’t buy this one either.
It appears that paypal may have a new verification method. I was prompted to select between my home/mobile/work phone number to have a text number sent to me to verify my identity. This allowed me to purchase without having to call in like I have had to in the past.
Wow, that would be awesome if they would let everything go with a simple text. But I’m not sure if this is new: I’ve had to do such verifications in the past as well.
Not sure if it is a new process but I’ve almost always had to call in to get my orders to go through in the past. This is the first time I’ve had the option to receive a text to verify my identity and allow the order to process.
