im selling my mac and i want to transfer its registered applecare to the new owner. in order to do so they need a copy of the sales receipt for applecare. i purchased the applecare on ebay. will a print out of the auction from ebay be good enough or am i out of luck since i bought it off ebay?

thanks

For AppleCare, it's when it was registered. When you bought it off eBay, you should have gotten the box with the orange trim that you need to fill out and mail.
As long as you give that to the new person, along with the A/C registration number, you should be good to go.
If you didn't get a box, or confirmation that it was registered, you may have been scammed.

Edit: The above is for the extended Applecare. If you're talking about the standard 1-year warranty, you'd need the original sales receipt when the Mac was purchased (either by you or another party).

i wasnt scammed. as i said in my post its already registered. i mailed it in and got my certificate. i need to transfer it now to the new owner and in order to do so i need to show proof of purchase for the applecare, which i bought off ebay.

No, you just have to give the new owner the A/C registration number. It doesn't matter when you buy the A/C, it's when you register it.

nevermind, i just called apple and asked. guess im pretty much out of luck unless the person i bought it from on ebay is an authorized apple dealer. guess thats what i get for trying to save some money.
