They are not available at the post office.

Why would an American on line company be selling gift cards in any shop in Australia?

facebook, netflix, apple music, apple app store, are all American on line company's selling gift cards in Australian Stores.
I know this is an old post but apple were definitely doing it back then,
Why wouldnt they?

The difference is that Apple has a physical store in Australia where they can be used.....ebay does not.

Ebay gift cards are a great idea though. The logistics would probably be fairly difficult though, now that ebay has sold paypal.

There was an eBay survey about using their cards as presents for family and friends if they were available. I wasn't interested in buying any. Mind you it was a bit thin on details.

While I know some friends and family are on eBay I have no idea whether they are sellers or buyers and how often they use it.

Frankly the only gift card I buy is Bunnings - it has no expiry date. As long as there's a Bunnings the card can be used. Until other companies with gift cards do the same they can go jump.

eBay still owns PayPal, they just made PayPal stand alone in their own premises.

Seperating administration of one from the other.

Gifting money to a PayPal account is very similar to an eBay gift card.

Just buy a greeting card and write in the amount you have gifted in their PayPal account so they can use on ebay or other sites.

That's very true about Bunnings. I used one a few weeks ago that was given to me when our old Bunnings was still open. The new one is 6 years old. Big W on the other hand, they make a killing from forgotten cards. I lost $200 because I'd put a gift card away until I found something I really wanted. Forgot about it and it was 2 months out of date when I remembered it. Big W said tough luck. The money is theirs now.

JB Hi-Fi gift cards also have no expiry. From the T&C on their website:

All Gift Cards sold at JB Hi-Fi or at third party locations do not expire. Gift Cards can be redeemed at any time even if a Gift Card specifies an expiry date.

What is your point?

At the time, many years ago, eBay gift cards couldn't be purchased in Australia.

Apparently last year they became available to purchase in Australia.

Nothing posted here that could in any way be construed as relevant today has anything to do with America or Americans.

Yes.

They have been available for a year or so.

THIS THREAD was started SIX years ago, when they weren't available, and the information given was correct at the time, SIX years ago.
