Sorry to do such a quick reversal. And I’m sorry for posting about something I hadn’t checked out thoroughly. Since someone I knew had received the items, I thought it was safe.
And it may still be — the jury’s out. So far, there are no actual complaints of not receiving items. That said, my mom talked to an industry friend of hers who, after some quick checking, was very skeptical. Furthermore, she mentioned a FatWallet thread about Amoozle.
The details are not in Amoozle’s favor. Does that mean it’s definitely a scam? No. But it’s apparently awfully similar to Cardlilly, which I’m not familiar with. Based on what I read, they get a whole bunch of good reviews and then start claiming “delayed” orders and so on.
I decided to cancel the order. I’m sorry for anyone who bought based on my recommendation. I should have done more research.
I’m off to feel dumb for not checking on this more.

I have bought an amazon and Walmart Ecards from them and have used the amazon one already. It is real and legit…I was skeptical at first but figured I’d give it a try…it’s kinda like restaurant.com how are they able to give $30 food coupon for only a buck or two…because you’ll prolly end up spending more…

Well, I'm stuck… the 48 hours for cancelling are past. I did use Paypal (thankfully, I hope) for payment — and they let you petition for your money back within 45 days. That should be time to see if Amoozle comes through with the cards.
If not, that's $149 and change that's gone…ouch. I hope it works out.

Thought you'd be interested in what's happening, so far…the answer is, in spite of the sale ending, absolutely nothing. And the Amoozle website has been down for a number of days. I wrote them to refund my money, due to non-receipt of the cards, and also put in a dispute claim with Paypal. Hopefully I can get my money back.

I purchased the buy 1 get 1 free target gift cards 16 business days ago and still have not received my gift cards (according to this website, your supposed to receive them within 10 business days). I tried to contact them through their website concerning the matter and they are yet to respond (that was 5 days ago). Lesson Learned: What seems to good to be true usually is. I will be disputing the charges with my bank as well as reporting them to the Better Business Bureau.

I bought from them and it is all good, however you recieve the ecard emailed to you in 10 business days after the auction ends, not from when you purchase. So if there are still 18days left on it you will recieve it in about 28days later. If your not in a rush it all comes in an email as promised.
