Do people actually read the red?
I feel like people skip over what I write in red the same as bold. Still gonna get asked if this is good from TLV.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

In your next post add "Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself" in red or bold and see how many people comment.
I'm not who you think I am.

How is this updated version:

I think that's perfect. I don't think you even need to say "or you risk losing the card’s value." but if both DD and CC are ok with that then sure.

How would people suggest changing it?

As others have suggested, it might help to add a little explanation of the secondary market, saying something like: "Any gift card you buy from CardCash is something CardCash bought on your behalf from someone else. Unfortunately, in today's day and age, there are dishonest sellers out there. In order to make your transaction more secure, CardCash will guarantee the value of the card for 45 days. If something went wrong within that period, CardCash will either have recourse with whomever they bought the card from, or stand behind it themselves. After 45 days it is impossible for CardCash to guarantee anything about the Gift Cards you bought from them."
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Very good, although for some reason I find the red 45 in the middle of the paragraph distracting, but not the red sentence at the end.

Maybe it would stand out more if it was in its own paragraph?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Assuming this was within 45 days?
Yes. My point is that if used promptly they will refund you no problem, even large amounts.

The one item which may make sense to include is that this risk has nothing to do with Card Cash or the issuing store but rather those in the middle. Some may think it is some sort of technicality and end up "trusting card cash" while it has nothing to do with them.

Which is why I wrote my TL version. I agree that it is likely to be TLDR for most, but put it out there to point out this point and maybe someone else can come up with a concise version that conveys that content.

I don't think there's a reason to disclose any extra information, if you're that kind of guy to do things that are irregular (ex: saving gift cards for a year) thats your own problem. All my bb gc balances vanished after attempting to place an order on bb during the sale. I didn't blame anyone, it took a lot of time to restore them but it was my fault, I bought the cc gc. There is no one else to blaim!

It is no secret that many of the cards sold are from the black market. I guess my question is why promote a site knowing this going in?

Many regular people are just trying to get cash for GCs they're not using.
The problem is that they still know the number of the GC they sold, so they may turn crooked and  use them after they've sold them.  Or sell them on a 2nd GC selling site to a another customer. etc
