You're lucky! I'm in Wisconsin and we are charged both sales tax but then also a "police and fire" fee on top of that so a top up can cost close to $5 more than the face value.

I am actually surprised that we are not paying the 8% sales tax on the top up cards. But I am not stupid enough to ask why we are not taxed on it.

Just search "virgin mobile top up" on ebay.
Edit: just checked and is gone again. Guess I got it as it was ending.
I got one on Monday, but they didn't top up my account yet. Not sure what to do?

I remember reading on another forum, (Howards forum maybe?) that there have been scammers on eBay regarding these "Virtual goods." Did you buy from a reputable seller?
Seems as if I can't report it with ebay since it was a classified add. I look at my purchases on myebay and it's not there?File a dispute with eBay and paypal.

You can still report it, I'm sure that they don't want scammers posting in the classifieds, might not be able to file a dispute but you can always try. If you used a credit card report it to the bank also. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Crazy Game Time currently has $60 cards for $51. They only let you buy one at a time ..... but I bought one yesterday and one today 
So, I'm fighting with PayPal and my credit card company. PayPal denied my claim and this is the response I received after I had to ask why they denied it:
PayPal Purchase Protection does not cover virtual or intangible items, which means that this payment is not eligible for the dispute resolution process.
PayPal Purchase Protection only applies to tangible, physical goods that can be shipped. Payments for intangible items, services, licenses, or other digital content are not eligible for dispute resolution. This also applies to prohibited items as outlined in the PayPal Acceptable Use policy.

The discount on the cards all equate to .85 on the dollar. On the $35 a month plan that would equate a savings of $66.6 a year.

I like to look at it monthly ...... at $.85 on the dollar the $35 plan is $29.75 a month, for a savings of $5.25 a month
.While my wife has the iPhone 4s on the $30 plan, which is taxed, so it's $32.10 a month.

I had enough to cover me through this year, and now I am going to need some more. Sad to see the super savings are gone.
I knew I should have bought more. At one point, I was close to the VM limit.

There are some available on eBay again, not great deals. But you can get a $60 card for $55, if you feel like gambling.

You can get $60 ones for $51 at Virgin Mobile Top Up Pins - CrazyGameTime.com
I've used crazygametime for the last 4 months of service, didn't have any problems with them.

LOL .... yeah there they are. They were out of stock yesterday when I posted. They probably are not going to last long.
