Hello all, I did something incredibly dumb and bought 10K worth of Amazon Shopping Voucher from PayTM (of all places) thinking it was Amazon Gift Vouchers without properly checking. I realised this only after adding it to Amazon. I was in a hurry and couldn't find any place else to buy it from as I have exhausted limits on Gift Edge and Amazon.

I am now stuck with the 10K shopping vouchers in my Amazon account. What could be my best course of action here? Bit confounded because things usually don't happen to me.

Ah yeah. Forgot to update this thread...

I asked my friends to let me know if they are buying anything expensive from Amazon so I can buy it for them. When that didn't work out what I did was use that balance to buy Big Basket and Uber vouchers from Amazon and then tried to sell them on TF and DesiDime. I took quite an effort and time but I was able to sell everything.

Of course I had to mark down the sale price. I sold BB at 8% and Uber at 9%, which was after 3% each discount on Amazon so I ended up losing around 550 bucks in total which is not so bad. I consider this loss as the price paid for not being careful.

Tip: Buy the vouchers only after you get an offer.

APay GV (Amazon Pay Gift Card) - Can be used for everything ASV can be used and additionally can be used for utilities, payment on other sites where apay is accepted (insurance, magicpin, food ordering/quick commerce or e-commerce etc.)
