Sell Your Home Depot Gift Card for Cash

Diagram of a FlipGift escrow deal: buyer pays into escrow, seller orders with their gift card, the item ships with proof, then the money is released

Sell your Home Depot gift card for cash without handing anyone the number or PIN. You use the card to pay for a buyer's Home Depot order, their money waits in escrow, and it's released to you when the order arrives — typically 72–88% of face value, against the 60–85% buy-back sites pay after taking the code.

Why Home Depot gift cards go unused

Home Depot cards are a go-to gift for anyone with a house — but renters and non-DIYers rarely have a project to spend them on.

Home Depot gift card, eGift card or store credit?

Three kinds of Home Depot balance get listed, and they don't behave the same way:

Plastic gift cards work at homedepot.com as well as in stores.
eGift cards — the emailed ones Home Depot sells through its partner CashStar (homedepot.cashstar.com) — have no fees or expiry and work at homedepot.com too.
Store credit from a return without a receipt is different: Home Depot ties it to the returning customer's photo ID and redeems it in stores against that ID. A deal here is paid online, so make sure homedepot.com checkout accepts yours before you list it.

For the order itself:

Sign in first. Home Depot requires an account login to use a gift card online, and takes up to 10 gift cards in one checkout. List several cards together as one balance on FlipGift and they can fill one bigger order.
Not for other gift cards, credit or loan balances, or Rental Center deposits.
Tracking, not the order number. A Home Depot order number (W, a letter, then digits) goes in the order screenshot; the tracking field takes the carrier's number and refuses it.

How to sell your Home Depot card the safe way

List your Home Depot card — brand and balance only, never the code.
A buyer who wants tools from Home Depot pays for their order into escrow.
You place their order with your card and upload the confirmation and tracking.
When they confirm delivery, escrow pays you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to share my Home Depot card number or PIN to sell it?

No. You keep the card and use it to pay for a buyer's Home Depot order yourself — the number and PIN are never typed into any site or handed to anyone.

How much will I get for my Home Depot gift card?

Typically 72–88% of face value: you set the discount, the buyer pays that price into escrow, and you keep it minus a 2.5% seller fee and the 2% withdrawal fee. Buy-back sites usually pay 60–85% and take the code first.

How fast do I get paid for my Home Depot card?

When the buyer confirms their Home Depot order arrived — or automatically about 16 days after it ships if they never respond. You can then withdraw as crypto or a digital prepaid Visa card.

Can I sell Home Depot store credit?

Only if you can spend it online. Store credit from a no-receipt return is tied to the photo ID of the person who made the return and is redeemed in Home Depot stores with that ID, while a deal here is paid by placing the buyer's order at homedepot.com. If homedepot.com checkout accepts your credit, list it like a gift card; if it doesn't, it can't fill an order here.

Can I sell a Home Depot eGift card from CashStar?

Yes. CashStar is the company that sells and emails Home Depot's eGift cards on Home Depot's behalf; the card itself is an ordinary Home Depot gift card with no fees or expiry, and it works at homedepot.com. Keep the email, list the balance here, and use the card at checkout when you place a buyer's order.
