How to Check Your eBay Gift Card Balance

eBay gift cards carry a single redemption code — there's no separate PIN — and once redeemed the balance lives in your eBay account. Here's how to see what's available.

Check your eBay gift card balance online

1. Use the button above to open eBay's official gift card balance page.
2. Enter the redemption code from the card or email.
3. Submit to see the unredeemed balance.
4. Already redeemed it? Sign in to eBay and view the amount under your gift card balance in account settings.

What you'll need

• The redemption code — a string of digits on the physical card or in your eGift email. No PIN is required for eBay cards.

Other ways to check

• Log in to your eBay account; redeemed gift card credit shows at checkout and in wallet settings.
• Contact eBay customer service if a code won't scan or the balance looks wrong.
• Your purchase confirmation email lists the original amount loaded.

If the balance won't load

• Re-enter the code exactly; letters and numbers can be easy to confuse.
• A card bought moments ago may need a short delay before it's active.
• If the code is refused, eBay support can check whether it was already redeemed.

eBay balance showing $0?

Because eBay credit applies automatically at checkout, a $0 reading usually means the balance was already spent on an order — check your purchase history. If the code was never redeemed yet still shows nothing, contact eBay support with your receipt to trace it.

Sell an eBay gift card you won't use

If you don't shop the marketplace, that credit can become cash. FlipGift lets you sell the value while keeping the code to yourself — a buyer's payment sits in escrow until you complete their order, then releases to you, usually 78–89% of face after a flat 2.5% fee split by both sides.
