Buying and Selling Rules
TradeGiftCardsOnline sponsors an auction for buyers and sellers of unused giftcards and certificates. This is a “straight auction,” which means sellers post items individually. There is no reserve price, but sellers do place minimum bids.
Read the rules and guidelines below for participating in TradeGiftCardsOnline auction. |
Bidding
Rules
• Bids are legal contracts. If you submit a bid that is later accepted, you are legally obligated to purchase the giftcard or certificate.
• All purchases are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds on items unless otherwise noted.
• Adhere to minimum bids. All auction items have a minimum bid amount. Bids under the minimum will not be accepted.
Guidelines
• Bid a comfortable price for you. Make sure you would feel comfortable paying your bid amount if you win the auction.
• Place smart bids. You may review the bid history for a particular card to determine the bidding trends of other interested buyers.
• Check up on the seller. TradeGiftCardsOnline lists ratings and feedback entered about the seller by other buyers. Check this listing to learn if you’re dealing with a reputable seller. |
Selling
Rules
• Set your opening bid carefully. At the end of the auction, your card goes to the highest bidder, and you are legally obligated to sell the card.
• Disclose all pertinent information about the card or certificate. Ensure that potential buyers make informed decisions. Mention if there are marks or scratches on the card.
• Research expiration dates and terms of depreciation. Many giftcards and certificates expire or depreciate after one year. Verify the terms for your card. Examine the back of the card, or contact the retailer if you need confirmation.
