Using eBay Gift Cards
So you have a gift card. Now you are probably wondering how to use it? The first thing to do is find the redemption code. Scratch off the security layer on the back to reveal the code on a physical card. For digital maps, eBay will email the code to you.
Once you’ve found an item you’d like to buy, you can use that code to redeem the gift card toward your purchase. Once you are in the checkout stage of purchasing an item, scroll down to the bottom of the page and enter the redemption code in the Gift cards and coupons field.
