I have a glut of these from casino promotions and am not eBay savvy. What is the going rate to sell these there? Are there a lot of them for sale there?

Search on eBay under completed and you can see what they have sold for recently.
Good luck.

Your glut may get gluttier, as several Harrahs casinos have Macy's
gift card events on the summer schedule. If possible, wait to sell
until the supply isn't so available. Or perhaps swap for the Neiman-
Marcus cards which NYNY and MGM Grand will be distributing shortly.

Only one gift card may be listed per week, per seller. You may want
to combine some into high denominations.

May I ask how you found out that several Harrahs casinos have Macy's
gift card events this summer? Can you give us dates and at which
Harrah's casinos for these gift card events? Thanks!

Casinos mail out so many offers they usually only send you what is targeted at or below your level.
But all of them have a master list of property and sister property events at least 2 months in advance.
If your host cannot or won't provide this info to you, then ask for someone in player development. And then, call if any offer looks appealing.
Sometimes you may even get to book an event that you never knew about or received. If you are close to qualifying but the system doesn't generate an offer a host can still book you. Or, sometimes events don't fill up and they will want you when you were not initially targeted.
That's why I like to look at the entire schedule and not just what I am emailed or get in the mail.

Actually, there is an alternative to eBay that will help you recoup the full
value of the gift card, no listing, final value or Paypal fees.
There's a website called leveragecard.com that lets you register your
loyalty programs (including most frequent flyer and hotel loyalty programs
and Total Rewards, but not any other casino programs I could find) and gift
cards, earn interest on your gift cards and swap them for other cards. I
haven't swapped any cards myself on the service yet, but I don't believe
they charge any fee for them.
It's actually a pretty useful site, you can track all your gift card
balances in one place.
If you're interested in signing up, please use my referral link:
https://www.leveragecard.com/home.htm?referrer=stuff%40swina.com
Also, one final note about eBay and gift cards: they will pull your listing
if you include multiple gift cards in the same listing, or if you list an
electronic gift card under the "gift card" category.

Has anyone used this site and actually swapped gift cards or earned and collected interest on their registered gift cards? It sounds too good to be true - no fees, etc. Do you get a lot of junk mail or pop-up ads? They have to make money some way!

A very good question, Jean.
The short answer is: they track activity on gift cards and loyalty programs
and sell the information to advertisers/partners, who deliver targeted
offers to you through the site (so no spam whatsoever).
The long answer is:
