An excellent find by Jeff Benjamin, over at iDownloadBlog. This eBay auction adds $100 to your iTunes balance for $75. You can buy multiple copies.
Does it work? Yes. I bought two of them, total of $150, now have an iTunes balance of $200.
You have to use PayPal to buy these. According to the auction page, supplies are limited. Interesting promotion.
This is almost certainly a money laundering operation. The codes would be purchased with a stolen credit card, and your money gives the perp a source of income not directly linked to the crime.
Really? Bestbuy and other large shops have sales of this nature all the time.
The problem is is there anything to buy on the appstore that you haven’t already bought? (I don’t buy games on iOS because most are boring skinner boxes)
I haven’t seen offers better than 20% off in stores (at least, here in the UK). Do you think eBay user 128571 has negotiated a better deal with Apple than walmart can?
They’re also good for movies, TV shows and music.
Maybe eBay user 128571 can’t, but Paypal may able able to. I see the user as 128611 by the way, not 128571. It’s possible Paypal is generating user names as needed. The history of past sales looks to be the same and/or similar such items from Paypal digital and is being recognized as such by eBay,
This is totally legit. I buy from this eBay seller all the time. Also check this Twitter account, always nice deals there: https://twitter.com/itunescarddeals
Paypal’s been doing this kind of thing for years, I believe. I recently got three $100 iTunes cards from Staples for $80 apiece, which I used to get Final Cut Pro for $240 instead of $300. Same idea.
…and books.
