iTunes Vouchers

Options
I usually buy CDs from the likes of CD WOW but I discovered today you can get iTunes vouchers for about a quarter of the usual price.
Apparently these are corporate event voucher numbers but once redeemed it makes no difference.
Just got a £100 voucher for £25 from giftvouchersuk on eBay. They have a website as well but I thought I'd play safe and purchase through eBay and PayPal.
The website looks a bit dubious (no postal address etc) - saw an ad for it in this weeks Micro Mart magazine but all seems fine with the eBay purchase :j

Current offer of £25 for £100 voucher ends in 2 days on eBay.

    not sure if you can promote ebay here, you'd be better to post a link to their website :confused:

    Mental blocks are just hurdles to overcome in life.

    If the item is listed on ebay UK, then you will have to wait for the seller to manually respond to the purchase, if it is listed on eBay.com, the links can be sent automatically.

    Yep - behind the times again...

    I've been following this seller for some time thinking it was a scam, however he has earned over 20k in the last 30 days on these vouchers, and a similar amount the previous month. A few people I know have used the codes on their iTunes, and all works fine.

    It all seems legit though, the feedback is very complimentary, and the seller also explains that the tickets are corporate issue which indicates why they are sold so cheap.

    How do I get some corporate vouchers?!!

    Where does he say they are corporate issue, I cant see it.

    Also do these have an expiry date. If I buy now will I still be able to use them in a year or twos time?

    Thanks

    FAQ

    Q. How can you sell these gift vouchers so cheap???

    A. These gift vouchers are supplied to us through corporate promotions. Due to these promotions the vouchers have to be redeemed within 2 months. Although once the gift vouchers are redeemed the gift vouchers can be used for 2 years.

    My brother has brought £100 or £400 in actual cost and they all work for him. He emailed and asked and the seller indicated the company he used to work for went bust and so rather than being out of pocket with no wages, he swiped "a lot" of vouchers.

    I can only report here what Ive been told!

    This has PayPal Buyer Protection. However, "item is covered by PayPal Buyer Protection if it meets the following eligibility requirements....[which include]...Services and intangible items are not covered."
    Think gift vouchers are uncovered. I feel very dumb!

    Do NOT buy. Think it's a SCAM.
