This type of scam is commonly referred to as the "back door", <a href="http://www.giftcardsnexus.com/2007/10/top-five-gift-card-scams-on-ebay/" rel="nofollow">Top Five Gift Card Scams on eBay</a> (Refer to #4). Unfortunately, Jetblue gift cards do not have a PIN or password, which would have helped in preventing this type of scam. When you receive the second-hand gift card, check the balance immediately and spend it soon. If problems do occur, you have a better chance of settling this with the buyer. In addition, when buying from eBay, use a credit card and not PayPal funds to purchase the second-hand gift card. Credit card companies offer better protection than PayPal.

Now, a couple months later, the gift card has no balance. I assume the seller redeemed the card himself after selling it to me. I'm not eligible for PayPal protection because the gift card is intangible good. I feel, least to say, pretty dumb, disappointed in humanity, and don't recommend purchasing a JetBlue gift card second-hand. The card doesn't have any kind of password or PIN that you can change, JetBlue doesn't recognize second-hand owners with no original proof of purchase, and again, this kind of purchase isn't protected by PayPal.
