    Depends on which card it is...some cards have a limit of how much cash you can withdraw from your total credit limit (Barclaycard)

    also, can we tranfer to the person selling the item rather than ourselves?

    You can transfer overdraft balances to both Egg cards, which will result in them sending cash to your current account.

    The Egg Money card will not charge a BT fee, but the Egg Card will charge one if a special offer (intro period, anniversary month, or any other special offer...so ring them and ask) is applying on the account.

    In each case, the balance transferred will start to incur interest immediately...so no (up to) x days interest free as with purchases.

    I'm not sure you can send money directly to an account that isn't in your name, although I wouldn't think you can.
