pete66 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I am doing work where I earn income as amazon.com gift points ... so how to turn those points into thai baht cash? :) My current idea is to buy stuff from amazon.com then sell it locally in Bangkok. But what is good value to buy from Amazon.com and sell in Thailand? Any ideas for what types of products to buy on Amazon and sell locally? What things are expensive here and cheap in US? (Please bear in mind I have to pay shipping and import duties, so really heavy stuff is out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Can you exchange to Amazon gift cards? Do that if you can, then sell the cards on eBay. The cards sell for nearly face value. Then all you have to do is send the code to the purchaser (specify this in the auction and send the code via ebay messages). Seriously, knock all that buying and selling physical products on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete66 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Nope, there is no way to exchange points for gift cards, unfortunately. From Amazon.com: "Your gift card balance can't be transferred to other accounts or used to buy gift cards." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 is this $100s or $1000s ? one time or every month ? since most of the stuff is from China anyway , do not buy too much of any one item , if it sells well or Thais think its a great idea they will buy direct in China or Copy it. I think the shipping and customs will kill off any profit , Maybe look for a USA company that uses Amazon for office supplies etc and trade them for gift cards you need or Paypal $$$$ and it all depends how much discount you will give to make it worth the hassle.....

This helps you because you don't have to buy and sell physical products, with all the risk, time and effort that entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwdrwdrwd Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I once ended up with a few thousand dollars worth of amazon gift cards. Got the cash out by listing a few washing machines (lowest amazon fees) under a fresh account at extortionate prices and then buying them myself :D - then just withdrew cash to the bank. Probably breaks their terms, but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
