Paypal offers a debit card that can be used anywhere visa/mastercard is accepted.
I still can't see any of the above willing to pay more for face value.
Then they can't use paypal either.
Some, I think it is because they want to get back what they put into it. Others know that when GCM sells out of Target, people will overpay to get the ebay bucks. I can't think of any reason why I would pay above face value, heck I grumble about having to pay shipping at GCM lol.
I've probably been doing about 4 orders of $450 maybe twice a month in average, for the big ebucks deals. Thinking of doing maybe half in store to put less thru and maybe do churn thru GameStop once a month that I tried the other day.
Bill me later? Doesn't Ebay or Paypal have credit cards? i don't know. That's why I called them theories.
I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not going to buy ebay cards from Target anymore, because I need $1000-$2000 in Disney gift cards each month for a very long time (I have everything for my May trip, but need to get started on an October '16 trip for 6-8, and then when I get that saved for, I will have a 3 day Disney cruise in June '17, also for 6-8, plus DVC dues). I'm not comfortable with more than that; I order a new set when the previous comes in. Man, this Disney habit is an expensive thing lol.
Very few stores will let you buy other giftcards (ie ebay, although some have Disney too) with their own store gift cards. Kmart, Best Buy and Gamestop do allow that, in many cases/places. Not all of them, though, so this is a step you will want to approach with even more caution than Target > ebay > repeat. Target has banned people from Target .com for being "resellers." What makes Target decide someone is a reseller is a huge unknown, so many are being cautious with their Target usage.

Another advantage to Kmart, Best Buy and Gamestop is that they often have digital gift cards, which you can use to flip quickly when there is a 4x or 5x offer on ebay. Their gift cards are also easier to find without shipping charges, so you don't have to pay extra to not have your money available in transit
The nearest store is 100 miles away, so I just keep hoping I don't set off some arbitrary warning bells when I start ordering my gift cards. I do try to break it up. 
and all the advice on here that has saved me $$$ so we can go to Disney! 
I was just about to post this..... STOP asking ebates for credits- I have been doing MS type stuff for years now and I will tell you this... All these 'questions' to the merchant will trigger suspicion about the similar activity patterns,and this will be shut down for everyone. I feel like this point should be made VERY clear right at the outset,like a sticky,it's that important to remember. Same goes for Target,ebay,etc. Unless there's a very real problem that IT can fix, be PATIENT> This sort of activity is what's called YMMV -Your mileage may vary- and most times these offers work for most people, but sometimes they don't. That's the 'gamble.'. Please Please I hope people will listen to this or it will end sooner rather than later.

I was actually told on this board to "put in a ticket" a few times and no one gave this or any other advice NOT to. I personally followed the advice given here, not knowing that ebates doesn't credit for purchases paid with gc's ( and they were crediting every other purchase I made with just gift cards) I'm sure I'm not the only one . If someone had explained why it wasn't a good idea to put in a ticket I certainly wouldn't have. I followed advice given here. No one corrected. Oh well.I was just about to post this.....
