How traceable are giftcodes? Say I sold an Amazon voucher, that's got to be traceable back to my Amazon account, hasn't it?

On the other hand, if I bought an Amazon voucher on ebay, then used that voucher to buy bitcoins, it's a little less traceable because there's one more layer of obfuscation, but I imagine it's still traceable.

What level of traceability do others here find acceptable?

It honestly depends on what you're selling/buying and who you are. but if you were to go to a local store and purchase a code in person using cash it's untracable outside of your actual transaction (i send an email with the code ect.) If you sell something physical well there's the actuall postal transaction unless you meet in person and then there's still an email record. but really if you're not doing anything massivly illegal there is a point at which any effort to remain anonymous becomes wasted, considering that your client can generate new addresses upon demand you don't ever need to send coins from where they were recived and in many cases that intself is even overkill
