IDOAUCTION offers Gift Certificates for sale through our web site. Purchasers may purchase a Gift Certificate for a designated recipient, who may then redeem that Gift Certificate on purchases made on www.idoauction.com with PayPal. The purchaser must define the recipient at the time of purchase for Gift Certificates delivered by email. Once purchased, Gift Certificates delivered by email may not be transferred to a different recipient. A recipient must have a PayPal account and pay using PayPal in order to redeem a Gift Certificate. Please note that these terms and conditions do not cover eBay Gift Certificates or eBay Gift Cards which are offered for sale by eBay.


Sale & Redemption of Gift Certificates

Proceeds from the sale of Gift Certificates are stored in IDOAUCTION'S PayPal account.

For the initial 18 month period following the sale of a Gift Certificate, the Gift Certificate balance is stored in our reserve balance and we do not have access to such funds unless the Gift Certificate is redeemed. When a Gift Certificate is redeemed, funds are moved from our reserve balance to our available balance via recipient’s PayPal account to pay for the recipient's purchases.

After initial 18-month period if a Gift Certificate retains a balance for 18 months, the amount of the remaining balance will be released from the reserve balance, less applicable PayPal fees as described below, and refunded to the purchaser's Paypal account.

Account closure: If your PayPal account is closed, by you or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the User Agreement, then the remaining balance of Gift Certificate less than 18 months old will be refunded.  Refunds on Gift Certificates purchased using a credit/debit card will have the face value credited to that credit/debit card. Refunds on Gift Certificates that were not purchased using a credit/debit card and sent via Paypal shall require IDOAUCTION to send certified mail to last known address. If there is no response within 30 days, funds will be non-refundable.
