It was a gift, so it's $27 buck for me flat out. The money's been transferred so I figure he's not scamming me, but he will scam someone in the future. The guy's name is Hans Puke btw

It makes sense if you would get charged more than $2.19 in sales tax in the buyers state.

The guy lives in Sweden, and the card is only good at the US iTunes store...?

Also, I don't believe it's legal to tax on gift cards (because you'd be charging tax twice), at least my store didn't...?

And are you charged tax in the iTunes store...?

There are just so many questions. I'm $25.83 richer (after Paypal fees), but I'm just so perplexed.
