      Wouldn't it be the other way around for money laundering? You're willing to get $.75 for the dollar to have clean cash?

          Buying with rewards program money (eBay bucks), i.e exchanging limited circulation money for a wider circulation is worth a premium

          But isn't that what's happening here? You [money launderer] buy $100 gift card, you turn around and sell it to me [person who has money in need of laundering] for $150. You are now up $50, and I have $100 of clean Walmart bucks.

          Oh wait but how did I get the money to spend on eBay in the first place... ok now I'm just confused too.

          Paying for contraband? Person A arranges to buy, say, spice from B on some shady website; to handle payment, B puts up a gift card or whatever the spice's $ price on eBay; then A buys the card, B ships an empty card & the spice to A. No cryptocurrency, just weird overvalued bids.
