    you are using a prepaid gift card. After the purchase is complete you will find that the prepaid balance on your card has gone down.

    You can use the card until it is empty and you won’t get a bill because you are using PREPAID MONEY that is loaded on the card.
    The most you will receive is a receipt that comes along with your merchandise.

    They don’t care that it is a gift card. They get paid by the issuer (usually some bank) of the prepaid gift card just like a bank pays the charges on a normal credit card. The bank pays for your purchases with the money paid by you when you purchased or reloaded the card.

    You’ll likely get a statement from the web site indicating that the card has been charged a certain amount.
