Kind of funny that was moved to this board ........
Its very simple though.
I should have highlighted the part "Buy FROM me & NOT BUY FOR ME " not trying to run a Nigerian scheme here.
And also the Answer is NO I cant buy from myself on ebay my account will get banned.

Fair enough, that's a new twist. Principle of the thread may still apply.

To prove the legitimacy of your post I think you should explain the motivation on your end.

I don't have to prove anything. To those interested I already send my explanation by PM

Can one of the moderators please delete my original post that was moved to this thread
The system doesn't allow me to do it after you move it.

Don't know if this is what it is, but I can see it being something along the lines of:

Ebay sometimes offers subsidies to sellers on Hot Daily Deal type items, so he can move lots of inventory, get eBay rankings and feedback, and buy back his inventory to rinse and repeat (making profit off the subsidy, and again on future sales).

Or he's just / additionally trying to take advantage of the 20% off coupon (again, to buy back his merchandise at a discount).

that's a lie. You authorized the charge
Heck, you might as well swipe away for your own transactions, and then dispute the charges because you can't afford to pay it all back.

I don't believe this topic was touched upon in the 'swipe for others'.

There are a lot of 'buying groups' where people in the community will pay you back (and sometimes include a small commission) to buy stuff from stores such as BestBuy and in most cases price match.

My understanding is because they are trying to skirt ' limit per a household' and then sell these items overseas or when the sale ends?

This seems to be a great way to do massive churning (I have some coworkers moving a couple 100k and also some itemss have a commission).

Besides for the risk that the person may go under and not pay.

Is this kosher? Anyone familiar?

Thank You

On a basic level there isn't much that could be not "kosher". Assuming you are keeping in the limits that the company set.
The company is selling you the product, and should you not get paid from the person you are buying for, you will be responsible for the paying the bill.
Your basically a reseller with drop shipping...

The deals seem to be unlimited - its as much as people have a credit limit and are willing to cycle- for example, there was a sale for a mac at $985 so I know someone who had a 50k credit limit and ordered 50 and cycled it....you can only get 1 per a customer online though there are 4 colors he just did guest checkout and in 1 hr ordered 50k worth to his house...they hand it to the guy and he gives them a check.

Some deals like iPad at a 499 price match are so worth it for them they are offering upwards of $15 commission per an item.

At end of the day only rule being skirted it seems is a limit in this case though one can say they are ordering on behalf of '1 per a family member' etc.

Best buy gets the money and the cc gets the money....i am trying to find whats wrong here
