Today (10/22) only, Gift Card Mall on eBay sells $100 Sears gift card for $90. Limit 2 per eBay user ID, which means you can buy more than two if you have or create another eBay user ID. I have four IDs in total. Three for selling and one for buying. I checked out two gift cards each through all IDs I have. So, I purchased (8) $100 Sears gift cards in total.
In addition to 10% off deal, you can also earn 2% eBay bucks!
I noticed after check-out, but they sell $200 GC, too. If you choose $200 GC, the limit is 1. So, whichever you take, you can buy up to $200 per eBay user ID.
If you want to create another eBay user ID, it is very easy. All you need is different email address from one you use for your main user ID. You don’t have to create another PayPal account. You can use the same PayPal account when you purchase through any user ID. And I used the same PayPal account for the purchase of Sears GCs without problem.
The gift cards are physical cards. And they offer free shipping as usual. I don’t know if they will combine all eight GCs. If they do, a total value exceeds $250, and someone will need to sign to receive. And most likely, they ship with UPS. If they send separately, they probably use USPS, and you don’t need to sign to receive.
You can redeem GCs at Sears and Kmart, in-store and online. Hurry, it ends today!
Please note that I thought it was OK to buy more than 2 GCs through different IDs, but I received warning message from eBay hours later.
Hello,
We’re pleased to have you as part of the eBay Community. However, we are contacting you regarding a violation of eBay?s Site Interference policy.
Listings promoted on the eBay Deals have a limit on the amount of items you can purchase, primarily to maintain an equal marketplace for all members and allow other eBay members the opportunity to take part in the eBay Deals. Using multiple accounts to circumvent this limit is a violation of eBay policy.
We have become aware of purchases using multiple accounts associated to you that exceed the quantity allowed per buyer. We understand that you may not have been aware of this policy, and we invite you to learn more about this policy at the link below in order to keep your experiences on eBay pleasant and successful.

You are still welcome to purchase from the eBay Deals section, but you are advised to limit your buying activity to use of a single account when doing so. The items you purchased by violationg the policy will be cancelled at this time. Please be aware that additional violations of this policy may result in your further purchases being cancelled and a restriction of your buying privileges. We appreciate your understanding.
Thanks,
eBay
I’m not sure they will cancel all of them or leave first one and cancel the other ones. It seems they will cancel all of them because exactly the same message were sent to all email addresses. So, DO NOT buy more than 2 by using multiple IDs. At the time of receipt of the email, purchase history of all my eBay accounts doesn’t show about a cancellation.
Updated on 10/29/2014. I received eight Sears GCs in four envelopes (2 GCs each). I checked the balance of gift cards, and they all have $0.
What a waste…
