 Selling $220 Amazon gift card, for just $200 in XMR/BTC

It is difficult to get people to make an account on a KYC crypto exchange, then learn how to use crypto, and withdraw it, just to pay for some Linux cloud services.

To overcome these obstacles, Simplified Privacy has engaged in barter.  We accepted an Amazon gift card for service, as an experiment.  But now there's a trust issue with selling the gift card for crypto.

To overcome the trust obstacle in liquidating this card, we have pledged 2 XMR to arbitrator on XMRBazaar.  If you can not use the card in full, you will be paid from our deposit.

 So I could send XMR and get the card.

What about vice versa?

 The tagline in the listing makes it seem as though it's a $200 card costing $220. But it sounds like you're actually doing the oppoaite - charging only $200 for a $220 card, correct?
