How come we can't buy/trade with Amazon GC anymore?

[Groo The Perverted]

I just noticed that in the trading forum that we're not allowed to accept or give Amazon Gift Cards for payments.

Why is that? Is it due to there not being any recourse if you get ripped off?

Just wondering...

You can send someone a GC and they can send you nothing in return. There isn't much you can do about it.

Through Paypal you can file a dispute if you don't receive your items.

Not if they use Paypal gift which is in point the same thing What if we setup a rule that both parties must have a certain feedback rating. I know ppl could always try raising their feedback but I for one really miss the AGC option.

i thought it was also a rule to include a tracking # w/all transactions???

i mean, wouldn't that guarantee they are sending your item???

Yeah, but how about they don't send you squat? Then you are screwed. I personally didn't have any issues at all with using AGC, but I did have a close call that ended up working out in the end.

true...doesn't really matter to me either way, i don't do a lot of selling on here anyway.

but i've done both paypal and amz gc's and haven't had any issues on here ever.

def. happy w/all of the transactions i've had.
