Hello Mylotters. It has been quite a while since I posted a new discussion here in Mylot. I have been busy working with another site which is Amazon Mturk. So far, it has been a productive two weeks because I have already earned 60 USD worth of Amazon gift card. However, my problem is, I cannot encash this GC because I am from the Philippines. They only allow us to purchase in Amazon. But according to another Mylotter who works with Amazon mturk, the shipping fee is more than a thousand pesos, so that makes it not worth purchasing from Amazon. My question is, do you know a site where I can trade my Amazon GC to a paypal cash? Except ebay and craiglist that is because they also charge a certain fee. Thanks in advance.

Amazon doesn't allow trades with paypal. They are competitors. You could sell your amazon gift card on ebay but you probably will lose some money. Then again, if my memory serves me right, amazon doesn't give you a gift card code but rather, credits your account. A good solution to this is to withdraw the money from amazon payments into a bank account and then transfer it to paypal. I used to work for Mturk (until they suspended me for no reason) and this is how I got the money to paypal.
