Answer 1

I think it's too early today. All the same, gift certificates are not yet so common as to organize them after-market.
In addition, most vendors are very localized and you will inevitably encounter a very poor product range in every city.

Answer 2

It's up to you of course. It all depends on the alternatives. If the costs are small, you really strongly believe in this idea - why not try it. And for starters, you can follow the lean startup methodology to make a website that says that such a service is already working and see what the reaction of the target audience will be. Promote in social networks, forums and perhaps buy some context and look at the growth rate.

Answer 3

Even “there” the cardpool and the like work in a very peculiar way. Very high seasonality in terms of the availability of stocks, an obscenely paranoid fraud check and a terrible support. The advantages over ebay are controversial, both in terms of money and features.
In general, a very problematic business, even where it operates. In addition, as far as I know, in the states, gift cards are often issued at work as a way to save on taxes. And this is a tangible source of replenishment of stocks ...
But in general, of course, go for it!
