re: Gift cards are allowed
From personal experience, gift cards are impossible to verify. See, for example, my mediator's terms:
I do not mediate gift card transactions because it is impossible to determine the cause of disputes when a buyer claims a card is empty or the code is invalid. There are three possible scenarios:
- an issue with the card itself;
- the buyer is a scammer who drained the card's funds and is attempting to scam the seller; or
- the seller is a scammer who provided an empty card from the start.
As a mediator, I lack the knowledge or evidence to make an informed decision.

That is the uncomfortable part and thank you for the data. kashilo excludes services and digital goods by rule and your numbers say the demand sits exactly there: proxy shopping, assistance, accounts held on someone else's name. Gift cards are allowed. Proxy shopping is a service, so today it is out.
I chose "physical goods only" to keep fraud and legal exposure small for a one-person operation. Whether that is a principle or just caution I have to think about properly, not promise in a comment. What I take from your piece tonight: the winning category is "break the surveillance chain", and a used-goods board does not do that on its own.
