If you have to ask, then you don't trust them.
Stick to PayPal.

If it were me, as I sell too, I would not accept those gift cards as payment. Especially if in the auction you put as forms of payment accepted as "Money Orders/Paypal Only". You would be under no obligation to accept it as payment. The problem with gift cards are they may have value when you get them but the person(s) could still use them by inputing the number on the card after you've sent your merchandise to them. Not to mention you're stuck having to buy something from Amazon. Any reasonable person would understand you not taking that as payment if you are worried about ramifications from bad feedback.

i would say no! ask for a payment that you would normally accept or re list the item....
I dont think this is a con but i reckon this person works for amazon and nicked a load of gift cards and thought. wow i might see if i can use this as currency... If there is something you want from amazon then go for it.. but DO NOT send them the item till you recieve the payment, whatever form it is
Peace

Absoloutly NO! You don't know the person and therfore cannot trust them. Don't send your item until proper payment is recived in your account/paypal. I trusted this one guy for his ratings and all and bought a £500 laptop only to find out it didn't work and as the item was not insured I only got back £100 as the guy did not respond. You could end up with fake or expired vouchers and its not worth the hassle trying to recover your goods.
Trust no one on ebay no matter how good their ratings. Keep it it simple cash payment (i.e. paypal, cash, cheque, bank transfer etc) for goods no other dealing is worth going into.

hi,if they paid you in these vouchers then you would have to spend them on amazon and not actually have the cash in your hand. I would not accept them if i was you unless you wanted something of amazon plus paying the postage costs for your item.

No!!!
Personally i would not accept that, even if they are real do you actaully want them?
And, i personally think that even if you did recieve them theyn would probably be fakes any way...
I would say no and not accept them!
But GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide to do...

they are just vouchers the buyer will send you that you can use to buy things off amazon. If you don't buy anything off amazon just tell them no.

refuse..........
it should clearly state in your listing the options of payment that you are prepared to accept....i.e.....paypal, cheque, postal order, cas on collection, bank transfer ...etc.
nowhere is the option to accept amazon gift cards !!!!!!!!!!!
