Voucher Scam?

kriss_boy

I have a lot of John Lewis vouchers I'm considering selling on ebay.

The thing I do not understand is why the vouchers appear to sell for their face value. I would have thought £100 of vouchers may sell for £85/90... however... often the vouchers are selling for exactly what their face value is.

Why would people do this?

Is it almost like a free cash advance from a credit card? But then I suppose you are lumped with the vouchers and not cash as such.

I read on here once that it can be a useful way of getting the money out of your paypal account without it hitting your bank account.

Say, for instance, you were on benefits but had a lot of money from your ebay business-that's-not-really-a-business-honest-guv, you wouldn't want that hitting your bank account and losing you your nice comfy funded-by-the-tax-payer life style..........

Although I'm sure there's other reasons too

Yea good point.

Some of the vouchers have sold for more than their face value! Albeit a few pennys!!

John Lewis is pretty expensive, so I reckon I will sell mine on ebay. :P

Vouchers must go special delivery, regardless of value
