  • Quick and easy. You can purchase a gift card and make a purchase on eBay in less than two minutes (see video below). This is much quicker and simpler than using an exchange to sell coins for dollars and then waiting for withdrawals to process to your bank account before placing your order.
  • No accounts required. All you need to have is a valid email address for receiving your gift card. That’s it. No lengthy sign-up processes. No excessive personal information shared.
  • No Fees. The price that you see on the product page is what you pay, compared to exchange fees when converting between crypto>fiat or even sometimes withdrawal fees.

FAQs

Q: If my item costs less than my voucher, what happens to the remaining value? The remaining value difference between the cost and voucher stays on the voucher so it can be used for a future purchase. eBay supports using multiple vouchers per checkout.

Q: What cryptocurrency payment methods are supported? Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Lightning, Ether (ETH), Binance Pay, USDT, Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), or Dash. More help on payments can be found on the Ordering/Payments help page.

Q: How long does it take for my gift card to arrive? Upon confirmation of payment you will receive a receipt email with your Gift Card code/PIN, typically in less than one minute.

Q: Do I need a Bitrefill account to use the services? While an account is not required to shop, registering a Bitrefill account allows you to keep a balance with us, which can be used to purchase any of our offered products or services without having to pay blockchain transaction fees, and without having to wait for payment confirmation. You can also earn ‘sats back’ on most purchases which are automatically credited to your account and useable on future purchases.
