Paying for Apple iTunes with PayPal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-a-third-party-of-course dept.

MrIcee writes "While cruising eBay today I noted that some clever individual has apparently stepped up to fill the void left by the fact that Apple's iTunes service does not accept PayPal. While insisting that buyers follow Apple's terms of service, is buying and reselling the gift certificate legal or not? If legal, it's an interesting and simple idea that could be applied to many areas." It is pretty neat, even if the $16 markup is a little ludicrous. It's like the old adage: a fool and his PayPal account are soon parted.

    Great, another middleman between musicians and fans. Are we moving backwards through the internet??

    There's only 5 digits on that counter. I wonder how many times that thing has rolled over since this story's posting :)

    Slashdot effect in real time.

    Well... maybe not quite the usual slashdotting. Thanks to your post, half the slashdotters are sitting on the page pressing reload over and over... making the count even higher.
