How To Use 500 eBay Gift Cards UK?
1. Key Limits to Know (UK Policy)
The most important restriction to be aware of is the maximum number of cards and the total amount you can use.
Maximum Cards Per Transaction: You are generally limited to using a maximum of four (4) eBay Gift Cards per single transaction/checkout.
Total Daily/Monthly Limit: There is a total limit on the value of gift cards you can redeem. While official UK figures are sometimes conflated with US limits, a common figure is a daily limit of $1,000 (around £800) and a monthly limit of $1,500 (around £1,200). Since you have £500, you are well within these limits, but you can only use a fraction of it per day/month if you were using multiple larger cards.
Region Lock: Ensure the cards are eBay UK Gift Cards and you are buying on eBay.co.uk.
2. The Checkout Process
You will apply the gift card codes directly on the checkout page.
Add Item to Cart: Find the item(s) you want to buy on eBay.co.uk and proceed to the Checkout page.
Enter Code: On the checkout screen, look for the field titled “Gift cards, coupons, or eBay Bucks” or similar.
Apply Your First Card: Enter the 13-digit redemption code from your first Gift Card and click “Apply.” The amount will be deducted from your order total.
Add Remaining Cards: Repeat the process, entering the code for the second, third, and fourth cards (up to the limit of 4 per transaction).
Pay Balance: If your total purchase amount exceeds the combined value of your gift cards, you will need to pay the remaining balance using another method (e.g., PayPal, credit/debit card).
Confirm & Pay: Review the final amount and complete your purchase.
3. What to Do with Remaining Balances
Any unused balance from a gift card will be tied to your eBay account once you redeem it.
When you make a future purchase on the same eBay account, the remaining gift card balance will usually be applied automatically at checkout.
Important: Once a card is used, it cannot be transferred to a different eBay account.
4. Restrictions on Use
eBay Gift Cards can be used for almost any item on the site, but there are some exclusions:
Prohibited Items: You cannot use them to buy other gift cards, vouchers, coupons, bullion (gold/silver), coins, paper money, or virtual currency.
Seller Requirements: The seller must accept eBay-managed payments (which most do now).
