i recently wrongly purchased a 3 xbox one apex coins gift cards and i tried to sell them independently online , and of course i got scammed ,is it possible to deactivate the gift card code, rendering it useless and have it refunded from my seller?

No there is not. This is unfortunately a risk you potentially take when trying to sell gift codes independently online.

Hi

If you have a receipt for the gift card you could try speaking to where you purchased the gift card from to see if they are able to deactivate this card and supply you a replacement.

Hey Cris

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with redeeming a code you purchased.

Typically, when a code is deactivated you need to contact the retailer, as per the article titled

Troubleshoot gift card and code issues.

Since its currently in a deactivated state, I would have to recommend that you
Contact Xbox Customer Support, as they would be much better equipped to assist you in addressing this matter further.

I hope this is of some use to you.

If you purchased this from a store, you should take it back along with the receipt, as it looks like it wasn't activated. If the card hasn't been activated, support couldn't really help as they have no proof you purchased it.
