Don't buy AppleCare on Ebay

[orp koobcam]

I felt I had to jump in on this issue. I just purchased Applecare from Macman about 2 hours ago. I actually made one purchase for me and then made another purchase for my mother (lives in Florida). Right after I made my second purchase I realized that there are some different rules about Applecare in Florida.
Anyway I sent macman an email requesting a refund on the second purchase and literally within 5 minutes he responded and agreed to refund my money. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!
At 10:18pm, just minutes ago, he sent me my Applecare code and instructions for refund.
Now, how many of you have gotten that kind of service from any online store or ebayer? How many of you have gotten this kind of service trying to get a refund from Target or Walmart?
One bad apple should not poison the whole bunch!!!
Sorry for the one guy who started this thread and got screwed.....although it certainly made for good discussion and shed lots of light on the whole Applecare issue.
After 4000 sales of Applecare and over 99% positive feedback.... I think macman has certainly proved he's not one of those bad apples.

The codes work fine, it's only after a few months that your warranty is cancelled and you don't have the ability to get a refund.

My code was approved within minutes. I bought it from ameenterprises which has 100% positive feedback, and they sell mostly applecare products. That's the most I can do in terms of research.

In my opinion, if Apple approves a code then they need to honor it. If it comes up months later that there is something wrong with it then that is their fault for not doing their approvals effectively.

If something goes wrong you can believe that I will:
1. Leave negative feedback on the sellers account
2. Appeal to Apple that they honor the fact that they approved the code
(that's just good business)
3. Get my credit card company involved

Not all sellers on ebay are scammers. I'm just having faith that ameenterprises is legit. From other posters comments on here and their ebay feedback, they seem to be.

 

[Macky-Mac]

..... If a code is enrolled with apple, it should show up as enrolled with apple and 99.9% of the time it does. If a code is already enrolled, the response at the enrollment screen on apples web site is

"We're sorry, but this AppleCare agreement has already been registered. Please check your information and try again, or contact us."

It seems a big problem here is on Apples side that these codes that people are having problems with are not coming up with that response from Apple.....

That would point to somebody having created a very good code generator that fools Apple as well. As I understand it, there is also a significant problem with the sale of fake iTunes codes. The codes work just fine even though they're fake. Even Apple has a hard time identifying them.

Nobody really knows what's going on at Apple's end. How many fake codes go right through the registration process? From what others have said in this thread, Apple doesn't seem to be able to identify them immediately.

That creates a risky situation for everybody. Let's say a supplier sells some merchandize to somebody who sells it to somebody who sells it to you.....if Apple has a hard time spotting fakes, then it's possible for all of you to be selling fakes to each other without any of you being aware that's happening.

In the end though, it's the customer who's going to take the hit when a fake is spotted by Apple. And since we know there are fakes being sold, buyers need to be warned that they might consider protecting themselves by making sure they get the sort of proof Apple asks for

I agree almost 100% with this post, the only thing that I disagree with is that if you are buying from a good, honest seller, they will take the loss if the situation can not be rectified. I know I would, I have not had to do so in 4 years, but I will do it if necessary. So will many other great ebay sellers that I have met over the years.

The bottom line is, if you as a buyer are not comfortable with the whole ebay thing, go ahead and buy from apple (amazon has had the same problem with some sellers, so be careful there as well) or macmall or one of the big retailers. Peace of mind some times is better then a hundred or 2 in your pocket.

Not to take away from macman's credibility - but when you buy on ebay and demand a refund within the return policy period - then almost every seller will give you a refund. Because you can file a claim with PayPal and recover your money. The OP had a problem because the AppleCare was revoked *months* after buying online.

Yes, we have gotten this kind of service from Target and Walmart. Which target or walmart does not issue a refund?

I'm just surprised there are so many gullible people out there who will believe anything. That's why there will always be so many Madoffs.

There are genuine ebay sellers of course, but IMO, I would buy AppleCare in a boxed package.. and confirm with Apple (give them the serial # and verify that the product is valid) Then I have the receipt, and Apple can answer to me direct. I'd prefer some peace of mind over saving a few $$.

Macman, all the best to you and hope your business continues to grow

Um, ok. I've settled down. Now to answer your points, since you still don't understand what this thread about.

1. You CANT leave a negative feedback on the seller's account after 3 months of purchase.

2. Apple will honor the code if YOU are the receipt holder or have the serial # that comes with the retail packaging (again, mentioned earlier in this thread) They won't give a rat's a$$ if you bought it on ebay through another seller. There are many manufacturers that do not honor warranties if the product is not purchased from an authorized dealer - the same logic applies here.

3. Your credit card company has a dispute limit as well - stop thinking that 8 months after a purchase if something goes wrong your CC company will come aid you. Even if they do, the chances of recovering your money are very slim.

PLEASE exercise common sense. I'm trying to be of a little help here. The only thing you could do is file a small claims case - but then you have to file it in the court where the seller resides - so you would have to spend money on travel, lodging, etc - think it's really worth it ?

 

[vexious]

The fact of the matter is, no matter how there gettings there codes, its illegitimate in one way or another, as apple soley does not sell simply codes. Unless some fool is buying tons of applecares just to sell on ebay for a loss, there is some scamming going on at somepoint down the line.

I honestly think someone was able to create a keygen. And the way your code gets revoked is when by chance the keygen made a key of an applecare that was purchased in store or online.

Exactly. Since I'm an Apple reseller and I know others - there is no way Apple sells only codes. I confirmed that with multiple distribution reps as well as other fellow resellers. People would rather save $40 by buying codes than buying the real deal.

 

[Mustard Chops]

I ordered an APP for my mac pro from memorymate over 2 days and have not received the code. After reading this thread amongst others I don't want to take the risk either.

Not bothered contacting the seller just opened a dispute via paypal and will escalate to a claim when I'm able to in a couple of days.

I can't believe that this guy is able to get away with this and for so long!

 

[gattoc]

I guess there might be a key generator or scam for the applecare code.
It is easy to get a new code with any valid code. You just keep trying by adding number from the valid code and you can get a new valid one to try the apple registration system. Of course, it's the stupidest way to do that. The code generator can do that if you can crack apple's system.

I have heard several times for the stolen code, and I have the same experience.
People get a new in sealed applecare box from apple store or some sellers, open it and try to register. However, the code has been used. It sounds ridiculous but it really happen. I guess that's why apple ask people for the serial on the box with the code. The code can be calculated or tried as what I said but the serial won't be easy to generate as the code since it has alphabet and number combinations.

For my situation, I wrote the emails to apple and ask them to resolve. They provide a new replacement code and help me register it since I have box on hand. Apple has a mechanism to match the code with serial. I think the one stolen my code will be taken away by apple after that.

If the codes only are legit, there are no problems for buying the codes on ebay. But no body knows now except apple.
If the codes are generated in some ways, those code will be okay as long as the codes with box are not sold. Once they are sold, you will be caught immediately and took away by apple.

Anyway, I think the codes are legit in some ways. I don't believe apple will let these things keep going for several years and they of course know there are a lot sellers on ebay to sell those codes. For example, memorymate sold more than 10000 and macman812 sold more than 4000. There are more sellers with 1000 feedback on ebay. If all of them are not legit, apple might have taken actions for this. Apparently, they are still selling.

Please do not depend on the feedback system for this scam. Negative feedback cannot be left after 3 months.

What happens is - buyer buys applecare 'code' from a seller - is stoked that the code works and that he/she saved so much money. Promptly leaves positive feedback for seller. After a few months if the warranty is cancelled there is nothing this person can do.

As the feedbacks keep building up, more gullible buyers pour in - eventually everyone selling these 'codes' will be caught, but till then I just wonder about how many people are falling for this in order to save $40-$50. Sometimes it takes 2-3 years for investigations to take place and build up a case. Someone from Apple's fraud department will co-ordinate with the FBI (yes, because this is large scale fraud) - and as I type this, they probably are doing so - but it just takes time.

I have been selling applecare for years, as I said earlier, and if I was selling invalid codes, you would think that I would have people coming back to me with problems, I have had none of that. The only problems I have had were when I accidentally sent the same code to 2 people and it showed up as used either at apple or when my customer tried to enroll it. In these cases I always provide a new number as soon as i am notified. We all make mistakes and as far as I am concerned, as long as someone fixes there mistake in a timely fashion, all is good.

I understand that people are having trouble with one or 2 sellers out there, but please try to realize that there are about 40 people selling applecare on ebay this way and the other 38 sellers have not done anything wrong.

Macman812,

Question for you....do you purchase your Apple care direct from Apple or a 3rd party?

I understand you'll not divulge which 3rd party if that's the case but I'm just curious as Music_Producer stated earlier in the thread that he's an autherised reseller use to sell Applecare but couldn't buy just the codes....

Also are you an actually Apple reseller?

Regards

 

[Sweetfeld28]

I was totally hesitant about buying a code for my iMac on eBay. However, my Applecare was going to expire in three days, and i didn't have the time to wait for it to come in the mail, so i opted for the eBay route.


The seller i delt with had 100% feedback, and had sold a ton of codes online. So, i bought it and it worked perfectly.

Macman 812, I was the one who originally posted the list. It was based on a collection of comments from this thread. I obviously have no purchase history with you although I do have purchase histories from two of the others on the list I disseminated. I mean no offense to you - it was simply a list that was built on what previous posters had posted. As far as I am concerned, I was simply responding to a request to compile it into one list. Ultimately, I believe the purchaser will have to make the call - if they notice you have great feedback, then its their decision whether to give you the benefit of the doubt.

If apple issues the warranty paperwork, that's a legally binding contract. If apple is approving fraudulent codes and issuing a "Proof of Coverage Certificate" anyway, the buyer's beef is with Apple.

 

[Macky-Mac]

not necessarily, if the fake codes are effective enough to get through the registration system, and everybody seems to agree that they are, then every code you sell could be fake and you would never have people coming back to you with problems

Macman812,

Question for you....do you purchase your Apple care direct from Apple or a 3rd party?......

that's an interesting question and I hope he'll answer

It's worked perfectly .......so far. If in a couple of months Apple contacts you and says you need to show them a valid receipt, etc, etc,; where will you be? Out of warranty and no applecare?

btw; if you call the apple store, they'll activate applecare while you're on the phone with them, so for those at the end of their warranty, waiting for shipping doesn't need to be an issue

If apple issues the warranty paperwork, that's a legally binding contract. If apple is approving fraudulent codes and issuing a "Proof of Coverage Certificate" anyway, the buyer's beef is with Apple.

And if they refuse to provide repairs you can sue them to force them to provide coverage, if you have the money to sue them anyway, and perhaps you'll win....or perhaps not

 

[catparade]

Still waiting to hear the outcome of my dispute with memorymate. I have no idea what's happening. I've already kissed my money goodbye ...but I'd love to see some sort of justice....

I guess I just want to say.... just to remind everyone - sure some (or most? who knows) of these codes off ebay might be legit, and they might work fine but when I registered my computer with Applecare (a REAL one I bought from Apple themselves!!) the certificate clearly stated:

This certificate confirms AppleCare Protection Plan coverage for your Apple product(s). Keep this certificate and the original sales receipts for your Apple product(s) and the AppleCare Protection Plan. Proof of purchase may be required if there is any question as to the product's eligibility for AppleCare Protection Plan coverage.

So even if you buy the code, and it works, and it's supposedly from a legitimate source, you aren't really getting the full Applecare protection plan, since you don't have any sort of proof of purchase. Sure, Apple may not even ask you for proof if you need to get any repairs done, and this has obviously happened to people already. Lucky them. But is it really worth the risk when you are spending a few grand+ on a computer anyway?

Again, no offense intended to you - but how do we know that customers do not have problems? The feedback won't change, it's not like we have access to your email account that we can see if anyone is not happy. This whole thing takes months to unravel, so..

I'm not entirely trusting like most people are.. so I tend to be on the safe side. If people want to buy 'codes only' knowing very well the risk involved then they deserve no sympathy if they're in trouble at a later point of time (like some of the posters who bought codes online even though this thread clearly states the risk)

I also hope you do answer how you buy these 'codes' only. We don't need your distributor's name or anything of that sort.. just weird that I know for a fact that Apple does not sell codes only for AppleCare.

I've done enough research over this topic (actually the iTunes scam got me started) Just go to taobao (chinese marketplace like ebay) - if you can negotiate with the sellers, you can get a applecare 'code only' package for $25 with a 'garanty it work apple' assurance

To all the ignorant fools out here (again, no offense intended.. but someone who buys a $1999 computer and then tries to save $40 by buying a code just comes across as sort of foolish to me) who keep buying codes for applecare - why pay so much on ebay? Just learn a little chinese and head off to taobao and get applecare for 50% off ebay prices!

And macman.. some of your listings state that you will load 'extras' on to the computer you sell - pirated software I assume?

If apple issues the warranty paperwork, that's a legally binding contract. If apple is approving fraudulent codes and issuing a "Proof of Coverage Certificate" anyway, the buyer's beef is with Apple.

Have you tried dealing with Apple legally? It's a nightmare.. they don't even respond to the threat of a lawsuit or a fax from an attorney - even filing a lawsuit will invoke a belated response.

Do you really want to do all that crap.. pay $300 to a lawyer just to get started.. when you could have just avoided this in the first place?

Hey there macman812! I bought one from you on ebay yesterday, not even realizing you were in this thread.

I can vouch for his superfast response and service. I had my certificate of applecareness back from apple in a matter of hours with no issues whatsoever. Love this guy!

You and sweetfeld - get back to us in a couple of months.. please keep us updated on whether everything is good or not.

 

[rtrt]

Ok in the interests of balance - can confirm i bought Applecare from macman812 in dec 08.

i had a mighty mouse replaced in jan09 but tbh this was just under the 12 months so was done under normal warranty.

i've also used tel support a couple of times post jan 09 with no problems - this is some level of confirmation that my Applecare is valid - they asked for my serial number each time.

my Applecare status is currently showing

Our records indicate that your product is covered for service and telephone support under the AppleCare Protection Plan which is estimated to expire on xx January 2011.​

The next test would be if my hardware goes faulty again.

For what it's worth - my opinion is that Macman812 is himself genuine. I believe he'd try to deal with issues if i raised them - but this is purely down to my 'read' of the way the guy communicates directly and on here. Yes i know it's in his interests to do this.

There are of course other vested interests around - for example those whose Applecare business is affected by low cost Applecare on ebay. I've no idea if any of them are contributing to this discussion and i certainly don't mention this to be contentious - just in recognition that these kinds of discussions can be complex.

None of this means that I won't have problems, should it turn out that Macman812 in turn has been sold something that won't stand up as far as Apple is concerned.

Like many people i've spoken to I'm also of the opinion that Apple shouldn't accept my Applecare and then not subsequently stand behind it later. I'm hoping not to have to test that tho.

So in summary I bought the Applecare when funds were tight and I wasn't aware of any of the issues raised here. Would i do it again? - all i can say is that i'd take longer to make the decision - not sure which way i'd land

 

[Bengt77]

I also bought AppleCare from eBay last year for my MacBook. No problems. The seller immediately sent me the registration/serial number. Some time later, I also got the box, complete with the Tech Tool cd. I'm not using that, but it's still good to have a hard copy of the registration/serial number.

 

[Drag'nGT]

Generally I hate shopping on eBay due to so much scamming. However, I found someone on eBay this last Christmas while the MS Live cash back was running. The seller had sold many, many Apple Care codes and people here suggested him. I purchased and he sent me the Apple Care code within 3 days and Apple has me down for Apple Care until late 2011!

Only paid $75.

I do need to ask you to stop saying "no offense" when your throwing me under the bus. As to the last line of your quote above, should I not take offense to that?

You refer to people on this forum as ignorant fools and you expect them to listen to you and believe all you say? I think many people out here might be getting a bit tired of your condescending "sour grapes" attitude.

By the way, I will be listing sealed, boxed applecare on ebay and the cost will be only $25 more then my auctions for codes.

Thanks for the message, I appreciate it and I hope that you will recover your funds. I do know that a dispute through your credit card company will 100% get you your money back. They will give you an immediate conditional credit and once they review your situation and the facts that you can provide them, you are assured a refund.

If you would like to send me a private message, I may be able to help you at paypal as well as i have a very high level account manager who is happy to help out when an obvious scam/deception is committed.

Um, you haven't answered my, and another poster's question regarding your purchase of AppleCare Codes. How are you buying them? From Apple? Or someone else?

I don't care if people believe what I say.. I'm not here to 'teach' - I am not even the original OP. I am involved in a legal matter with Apple regarding the iTunes scam - this one intrigued me as it has the same workings. Do you think I started this thread?

Right now I wouldn't trust buying anything that is a code - I don't care if it's from a seller who has a million positive feedbacks. I'd rather spend more money and get a genuine product straight from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller. Are you authorized? You come on here defending your business, which is all good - but you fail to answer some key questions.

 

[Andrew Henry]

This post makes me somewhat nervous, as I need to buy AppleCare for 2 x 3G iPhones and a Mac Pro, if anyone could send me a PM with a seller than they've used and had no problems with, I would definitely appreciate it!

I, like most other people who sell on ebay, am not an authorized reseller. This is by choice as I would not be able to sell at the prices I do if I was. As a matter of fact, you, as an authorized reseller are not allowed to sell at the prices you claim to have sold at. What is the name of your business as apple has you authorized under?
