Amazon Gift Certificates

Options
Can amazon gift certificates be used for marketplace, or do they have to be products from amazon?

Comments

  • they can't be used for marketplace, and can only be used for amazon items actually sold by amazon themselves
  • ^ What they said :D
  • If you have quite a large value of vouchers, and you really want something on marketplace, you could try selling them on ebay for slightly less than value.

    Is it possible to only show goods being sold by Amazon - ie. not the marketplace sellers?

    As far as I know it isn't possible on Amazon itself. Someone might have set up a separate site which does it, I'm not sure.

    You actually can now. They have finally listened to people.

    When you search (or browse) for something as long as you narrow it down to a category. So say you searched for a TV - then narrowed it down to electronics.

    There will be an options down the side to narrow the search down further. One of these under Shipping Options will be

    "Can be shipped within one business day from Amazon.co.uk"

    Select this and it should now only show items stocked by Amazon themselves. Only problem is it won't show items which are not currently in stock (like those dispatched within 1 - 2 weeks).

    Also, Amazon.co.uk vouchers can only be used on amazon.co.uk (ie not the german site or french or USA etc).

    If you want to buy cool stuff from Amazon cheaply, simply collect more vouchers. If you have enough time to devote to surveys (eg Valued Opinions, Juicy Brains, Lightspeed, etc) or clickthough sites (iPoints, RPoints, etc) you can collect amazon vouchers very quickly. Check out the referrals board if you want to join any of these (or PM me for a referral :p ).

    In the last 9 months I have had enough to get a 32" Samsung LCD TV, A Samsung upscaling DVD player and a Wii !!! I am now saving up for an XBox 360.
