    Best way to turn lots of amazon gift cards into cash?

    What do y'all think?

    You can turn 'em into bitcoin using things like paybis/paxful/localbitcoins, but at 20%+ premium. By the time you turn that into cash you'll have paid another 5%. Yuck.

    I've heard of people making amazon sellers accounts, and selling items to themselves. But amazon will shut that down the moment they notice.

    I'm thinking about just buying shit on amazon and trying to resell on ebay but it's a huge hassle to do at volume.

    any other ideas?

      Or

      Sell the card on eBay

      Or

      Use it on CoinStar you can put the Amazon card right in their ATM machines.

          I've seen a few porn sites offering prepaid and gift cards exchanged for memberships.

              yeah, that's basically what I'm trying to do--use amazon gift cards as a way for users to pay me. credit card processing is prohibitively tough for a startup in the (non-adult) niche I'm getting into...pretty much no one gets a processor until they're established. So I'm looking into amazon gift cards for the interim.

                      Typically sellers are offering gift cards for a little less than face value.

                              If you actually have the cards you can flip them on ebay really easy. If you just have the number you can buy gold or silver and flip it.

                                  If it's non-adult can't you use PayPal or something similar?..

                                  Or am I missing something obvious.....

                                              New niche, actually. I'm taking a lot of what I've banked running aggregators and starting a cannabis delivery service in cali. Thanks, porn!

                                              Banks and credit card processors don't fuck with new cannabis businesses. you need to be established.

I took a look and they have a partner program for bulk sellers, which is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. And it turns out they have a few direct competitors with similar programs. So I think you might have just solved my problem; thank you!
