If ebay didn't hide ID's I can go a bit deeper, that's why they need to check him out.
I would not be surprised if someone ended up with a bag full of items on a monthly basis the way he is going, but in his case I would be surprised if he ends up with anything.

I've recently seen gift gard sell for more than their face value. I really don't get it. Why would someone pay $150 for a $100 BP fuel voucher? Makes no sense. People are idiots.
I think with some people, they are going to win the auction whatever it takes. They won't let someone else beat them so keep bidding, regardless of how much they pay in the end. I repeat, people are idiots.

There is (added) value in other aspects of being able to buy these items on eBay.
If someone does not live near a certain shop, but wants to purchase a card for whatever reason, and said shop doesn't take PayPal or the cards can't be purchased online, then by their reasoning, they may have saved themselves a few bob even if they pay over face value.
Of course, if it's for a gift, money is prolly just as good as a card, if not better (especially when we're talking about reducing something like $150 to $100....) 😄
It's not uncommon for people to bid well beyond what they expect to pay for something in an effort to win, obviously generally not expecting anyone else to bid (much) more than face value (i.e. it's an understandable, if but short-sighted, line of thinking to go 'I'll bid $150.00 cos no one else is gunna bid more than $100, then I'll definitely win and save myself the $100 round trip to the nearest town to buy and send a gift card...........oh....someone else actually had the same idea. Dang it."
.....and, I'm just gonna leave this here 😛 (as a general comment / point; no offence, ill-will etc intended ...to anyone who has ever said this....cos that includes me ).
