Selling GC tips.

Giftcardgranny.com and giftcardwiki.com are good aggregators for best rates. Be wary of selling on Ebay as buyer can put in a false claim that it was empty and you can get screwed.

Cardpool:
Verification: 415-419-8787 between the hours of 1230pm - 930pm ET. Have your order # ready.
Offers an extra 6% if taken in the form of amazon GC and will also pay quicker than a check.
If you haven't heard from them give them a call it may be stuck in verification. Large total value is a trigger.

GiftCardZen:
Will cancel the full sale if one of the GC are incorrect.

In general if an order gets cancelled, it's possible those gc are *tarnished* and you may have trouble unloading them. It is possible these sites communicate with each other in this regard as well. In this case you can do the PITA method of using the GC to buy/return items and get a new gc issue.

Not sure if this is right thread, and might be a dumb question, please bear with...     if I want to buy seforim by a small  Jewish business which said if I pay cash it will be 1 price, and if I pay cc will  be much more (tax, percentage fees), can I pay with amex/visa gc's instead? As in will that be considered like cash or cc? And if like cash what's best place to buy $3k of GC? Thanks in advance

Amex gift card are credit transactions. Visa gift cards can be almost like cash if he has a debit processor and you do PIN transactions. It sounds like a little place that is unlikely to have that. Both of these won't help him for taxes, which is probably just as important to him as the processing fees.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I just sold a few physical GC's to Cardpool.  They gave me a free shipping label that says $0.675 on it.  Do I still need to purchase tracking and insurance?  How would I do this, and is it worth the price?
Yes still need tracking and signature confirmation. Ur insurance is the card numbers.

If you retain the card numbers they can be used as ecodes if your package doesn't make it there for whatever reason

Not if someone takes it and uses them
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

These are gas gift cards.  What would it help to have the codes?

In case anyone was wondering- if you buy a gc from cardcash on ebay and then try to resell it back to them, you get an error- card already sold!

Dunno about buying, but they shut me down from selling pretty quickly.

Cardcash is terrible to deal with, even as a buyer I received cards with zero balance and funds used.
