Hello I’ve bought some in the past and had no issues with bitcoin on other sites but after browsing I notice on some posts that their are risks. I wanted to know what are the risks of buying gift card codes besides the obvious one if the guy your buying doesnt send you one or an invalid one. Pretty much is it reversible?

If they charge back it can be an issue. You can completely lose your Amazon account.

Thanks for the info didn’t know amazon would track down that far

If you buy carded gift cards, you may even get a visit from the police.

Haven't heard such brutal stories.

They do close you up depending on the amount and frequency of the chargebacks.
One time big sum chargeback can get you closed.
Also possible to have smaller amount ($100 or less) chargebacks on several occasions to get closed. This one happened to me.

The worst thing that can happen to you is to get your address/identity blacklisted by amazon
Not be able to use amazon is very bad and frustrating
I never heard of someone getting a visit of the police at his house, if such thing happen, just explain them that you bought it from someone here and he told its a legit card
Keep a record of all your conversation and you will be safe

Well, buying agc on hf can be risky, they will send you the code you redeem it everything is working perfectly. It's not till the next morning you login to your amazon account and see the balance missing from your account/and or banned lol. It's all a part of the risk you should be willing to accept.

Is the risk lower if you're planning to use the GC right away? Will Amazon cancel orders?

but we can't know if they legit or carded, that sucks.

If they sent to your email and you redeem it after long time , is it still risky?

[SIM-3601851]

Also, does all this apply to physical cards? Or just digital

If they purchased it and gifted it to you through amazon then you will not get closed. The balance WILL get pulled though.

It is much harder to card physical AGC. If the seller has a cash receipt then it won't get pulled at all, those are the safest you can get however they have the highest rate/lowest discount.

Physical codes with receipt are the worst only because they are associated with the scam call centers 80% of the time. (Do you want your legitimate information tied up to scam call centers?)
I only say 80% of them are because who in his right mind will go to the store and buy you a 500$ gift card with cash and only get 400$ BTC (80%) for it? He can buy btc with cash in hand for 10% or even less.

About the e-gift cards is just important to watch out who you are dealing with, where they got it from and if they can prove it. I buy a lot all the time and if i am at least 1% skeptical, i instantly deny people.

Getting your acc closed, getting scammed
