I ONLY get it from a specific dude depending on your rating he wil send u the pin but he doesn't do it for everyone i usually get 2 $50 pins for 80 sometimes a little more depending the time of month for him
if it was bought with a stolen credit card they take it away from you its up to you to get your money back from where you got it from . also tmo does do promotions where they offer it for less but only to merchants

hmm, good question better question do you look into it and decide to skip it or do you buy and not worry about it.
I would say if you buy with paypal if it does turn out to be a scam and your money is lost paypal usually refunds you.

This quick guide is to make you aware of many fradulent prepaid refill card offers that are increasingly available on EBAY.
You may see a classified ad, or an auction, offering a T-mobile, Boost Mobile, etc. refill cards for almost 50% of the face value.
Do NOT buy these refills. These sellers (usually not in USA) buy airtime with stolen credit cards and re-sell it on EBAY.
This can happen to you:
After you complete your purchase, you WILL receive a refill confirmation from your cell phone provider, so it will appear as all is well. You've got your refill for an awesome price, you left positive feedback, life is good.. NOT!
Several months later, you will receive a call from your cell company, telling you that you owe them whatever the face value of your refill was, plus tax. This is because the charge on the stolen credit card gets reversed by its legitimate owner, and now YOU owe the full amount to your service provider. When they learn that the credit card used for the refill was stolen, your prepaid account will be suspended, and the purchase will be reported to the authorities.
You will then need to go to the local police office, filie a police report, turn in your receipts from E-bay and Paypal for the transactions to the police, and contact E-bay's and Paypal's fraud departments, to clear your name with the service provider, Ebay, and Paypal.
Red flags to look for:
1) The seller requires for you to provide your cell phone number with your payment (NEVER, ever, give out your cell phone number, when buyng a refill on EBAY.)
2) It is a classified ad, or an auction that contains a link to another web site (the "onlinekey.org" is one of them.)
3) The price is TOO LOW to be true.
4) Broken English in the auction/ad description. (this is usually because the seller does not even speak English because he/she is in China or elsewhere, and used online "language translator" to convert description of the ad into English.)
this is why i pm'ed you if you really wanna see if they are legit on paypal verify them first follow this link and enter their email address where it says email https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=email
next time you buy check the email you sent the payment right away if its not verified i suggest you open up a dispute immediately dont even wait for ebay or send them private emails just open uo a dispute with paypal no questions asked

well i just finished chatting with some one at tmobile and they say there is no way for them to deactivate your pin after it has been purchased be it legit or with a stolen credit card so now im confused as to if they can actually do anything regardless of how you got it

ive been using ebay for most of my refills hopefully everything is ok i think for the most part if your buying directly from a USA buyer the waters a little less murky also do what i do once you pay check the email make sure they are verified if they are not just open up a dispute with paypal immediately
I still dont understand your email part. I log into paypal but when I click on your link, it show some error page about your action could not be completed.
I see 83 for 100 now. This seller is Buy It now, not Classified Ad and has 1100+ feedback and ebay protection eligible.
Even thought Callingmart say Tmo have no more discount, I dont know how these sellers can get at least 17% discount and that $70 plan becomes $53 now. You see what I see?
Re: Your experience buying T-mobile refill card from ebay
I've bought these refill cards for some time now. I have even bought a few and resold them on eBay for an few extra bucks. I've been saving on my bill this way since before monthly 4g was introduce back in the flexpay days. Currently I get a 100$ for less then 68$. I've never had a problem and yes with a refill card, they cannot "snatch" the refill amount back.

Here is this seller that has 1000+ feedback and he explains why he is able to sell the card at such a big discount:
================
On a side note we receive a lot of messages and questions on how are we able to provide refill cards for such a low price.
The answer is simple, we purchase large amounts of T-mobile smart phones on the carriers main website and unlock them to resell them in our country, most of these phones come with a 50$ refill card coupon to start up the service, and since we cannot sell these coupons in our country, we put them up for sale on ebay.
================
There you have it. I do know electronics, cars and buffets(lots of food, hence obesity) are cheaper in USA than anywhere else in the world. EXCEPT for health care which costs alot here.
There you have it. Enjoy hunting.

Yes you can, in the USA you may not be able to but in other countries with other laws you can.
