Juggles Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Good morning friends and Happy Christmas Eve I was just wondering if accepting Amazon Giftcards as payment is a 100% safe method and cannot be charged back once applied to the account. I greatly appreciate your answers and hope everyone has an amazing day today. Maybe Santa will bring you some goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't give an exact answer - but I'd assume if the Amazon GCs were bought with say a fraudulent card, and a dispute was raised against the transaction, it seems likely Amazon would, in turn, remove the balance from your account.

Guest Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 As far as i'm aware yes, @TWC could help you with that info to explain better though, or maybe even @RoomScape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitt Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 as far as i know your account will be closed or the amount will be charged from your account when u add a GC that was bought with fraudulent intentions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWC Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 You would have to verify very carefully that that person actually purchased the giftcard himself. It is commonly used by scammers as a form of payment, good example would be indians calling about microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomScape Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah, it’s not safe and you can still lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y0m0 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Had a friend get an amazon account shut down as it was a code that was got by fraudulent ways, wouldn't risk your account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 A bit late but no it's not 100% safe to use them. Fraudsters will buy Amazon GC's and it might cause your account to get suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
