BNPL and Gift Cards

• Many “buy now, pay later” providers restrict gift card purchases due to elevated fraud and chargeback risk.

• If you cannot use BNPL for cards, it’s typically a policy decision by the merchant or provider, not a technical error.

Marketplace Order Cancellations

• Common reasons include identity verification, fraud filters, out‑of‑stock inventory, payment mismatches, or policy triggers.

• Next steps: watch for a refund notice, complete any verification requests, and review order details for mismatches.
