Selling Sony Connect/eBook Store gift cards
I got a few hundred dollars worth of Sony Connect/eBook Store gift cards as presents over the Holidays. (I guess all that bragging about my Sony Reader paid off!)

I doubt I'll be able to spend them all anytime soon, so I'd be willing to sell them at exact dollar value to anyone interested. Just PM me the value you want in USD and your email address, and I'll send you my PayPal info so you can send the payment. Once I get the payment, I'll email OR PM (your choice) the gift card code to you. The gift cards come in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.

I'll fill requests on a 1st come, 1st served basis until all my dollars run out (leaving some money for myself, of course)

I'll be willing to eat the PayPal fees on these transactions, too

PM me if you're interested.

Um, exactly what is the incentive to buy gift cards from someone else at exact dollar value? Am I missing something here?

I should have mentioned this, but this is more targeted towards those living outside the US who aren't able to buy books from the Sony eBook Store due to it only allowing purchases from buyers with a US credit card.

Buying gift cards gives them the ability to get around this silly limitation by Sony.

These gift cards don't expire, so I could just hold onto them and slowly spend them over the next couple years. Just thought I'd help some international buyers out, though. Since I live in the US, I can always use the cash I receive to make purchases later.

Well you can only get them in the US, so overseas folks might want then since they can't buy from Sony without a US cc or a gift card.

Thanks.

I can set anyone's fears at rest - I purchased $50 gift voucher from JTravers via paypal and my Sony ebook store account is now $50 better off.

very useful for someone who doesn't have a US credit card and doesn't travel to the US and so can't pick any vouchers myself.

buy vouchers
If you can confirm that I will be able to purchase books from the sony reader ebook library from uk with these vouchers then I would love to buy your remaining vouchers off you.
Have had reader for over a year now, bought upon release in NY when they said they were releasing it in UK shortly. As they havent, it has been basically useless since.
Thanks
Zoe

Yes, you should be able to purchase ebooks in the Sony eBook Store from anywhere in the world using these vouchers.

About the vouchers, when you get the vouchers for the eBook Store, do you get a code that you then enter into the eBook store to give you the credit?

Yes, exactly. You get a unique code which can then be applied to your eBook Store account.
