So I'm selling a $500 Nordstrom Gift Card on Ebay.

Shipping's included in the sales price, and I'm using USPS First Class, Insured, with Electronic Return Receipt, sent within one business day of payment.

Shipping usually takes around 3-4 days to the continental USA, but I can send the code via e-mail at the buyer's request for faster service.

The auction ends September 6.

Sure.
I just checked it on Nordstrom.com.
If you want, I could print that out to PDF, blur out the number, and then post it.
It'd be a bit of work, so let me know if you'd find that useful or not.

Is anyone here dumb enough to bid on a $500 gift card from a seller with 92% feedback?

Therefore, his 92% reflects the fact that he, having only 11 feedback recorded transactions, has already had a bad one. That's a terrible track record, especially by eBay standards, and it appears the feedback is serious -- 11 days to ship, claims opened (!) ? When you combine the bad feedback with the join date, 04, and the lack of activity on the account, you get a $500 non-verifiable gift card auction which is highly suspect.

You do need to take into account that new sellers need a "break-in" period where they can learn the system, etc. etc. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt to a certain extent. 92% certainly looks better to me from a seller with 10 feedbacks rather than 1000.

Sifting through past threads this seemed very odd... Especially considering the OP could have returned the card to Nordstrom for the full 500 with much less hassle.

it just seems weird to me for ppl to bid on this. the final and winning bid was $461. they couldnt muster up $40 more bucks and just go without the card?

whatever. glad you sold it.
