It's for the same reason that gift vouchers sell for more than face value on eBay.

It does seem crazy BUT where else could you buy 15euros for £16 and have them delivered.

Delivery is free on first ones I looked at

Maybe it is someone housebound wants them for a grandchild or similar

If you use the travelmoneymaximiser the you can only get 12.94 euros deliverd for £16

It's far more likely it's someone buying currency to empty a PayPal account without the need of a bank account. You see it all the time with gift cards selling for far more than face value.
