Why Do People Overpay For EBay Items Available Online? - GoFuckYourself.com

HairyChick · 04-07-2019, 12:11 PM

I don’t get why people buy things on eBay for fifty percent more when available at regular price online.

100 Visa GIFT CARD ACTIVATED
No Fees After Purchase
$135.95

36% overpriced

It’s not area specific
It’s not for specific restaurants or stores

You can buy online for $100 so why ???

I tend to shop on multiple sites and price compare - Mostly Ebay, Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

I fully believe that everyone thinks society smart but the reality is there are some very, very dumb people who shouldn't be allowed out in public. They look a this:

100 Visa GIFT CARD ACTIVATED
No Fees After Purchase
$135.95

And maybe they think they are getting a credit card.

i will not school you too much on this... one word "anonymity" and you pay the price because you want to remain unseen

What he said - You are not 'connected' to the card in any way.... Anonymity FTW!

And there are even dumber one's who think people are over paying for gift cards because they are stupid.

Compared with 10 years ago E-bay is a ghost of its former self. Its either cheap imported Chinese junk sold at 3 times the price you can buy it for on AliExpress or overpriced used items purchased in bulk from Amazon. No bargains to be had these days its slowly going to its grave !

You can go to Walmart, Target, any store and buy a card for a $4.95 activation fee or less. Disabled people at home can buy online or have their shoppers buy a card.

A credit card for $136. Yeah, very dumb people indeed.

I buy restaurant gift cards on a local site. I never pay more than 50% of value of card. Usually I get $10 cards for about $2. Occasionally I see people overpaying and I don’t get it. They’re mailed to you and a $10 gift card to a local restaurant shouldn’t cost $12. The site owner can’t sell them all so puts them on eBay. I’ve paid 99 cents for $10 cards and buck shipping. I buy four or five so the bucks don’t add up. I’ll get one for a Portuguese restaurant because I can give it away.

I’ve tried many new restaurants and many were ones I’ve gone back to again. Some were horrible but at two bucks, at least part was good.

The site used to have thirty restaurants Now it’s about a dozen because the premise is give away the gift cards, he sells them for whatever and the restaurant gets repeat new customers. But some are so bad that people don’t go back.

One owner complained that we used the cards every month as you’re limited to once a month. Legitimate purchases but he gets paid less the $10 gift card. Lunch for two is around $15 generally so he gets five bucks. They lose money so bitch we’re going every month. I told the guy I pay for it but didn’t mention the price. Another customer told him they were on eBay for a buck or two. He pulled out of the program.

your head is as hard as aged oak wood

keep poking your head in the sand! just because you can't see it does not mean it worthless. it means you just don't know

So no one else knows either. Anonymity seems strange because you can buy the card without telling them your name. Or have a friend buy it for you. Overpaying doesn’t make sense unless you want anonymity but a friend can buy it for the price on the card

I’m never asked for an ID card when using a credit card. Yesterday I used a card I haven’t signed yet. Ran it through the terminal and removed it without a word from the cashier.

I asked this from about ten people and none had a clue. I asked my PCP and she mentioned anonymity but then thought it over and said it made no sense.

Surfers can use it for anonymity to protect privacy so no one knows they view porn. That makes sense but they can buy a card at Walmart without a huge fee.

I’m overthinking this but I truly want to know.
