can u buy apps with it?

[iphone4idiots]

@SuperJojoproductions It's not for buying apps. It's for taking Visa, Master Card etc. to pay for things you are selling.

@demonlad666 If you do, the person is going to find out and reverse the transaction. Also, if you get a lot of charges backs your account can be closed or suspended.

@kicksoccera It's because his iPhone is Jailbroken. He has Cydia.

would this not make stealing from someone very easy? if u steal their credit card and jus start charging a bunch of payments from them to you.

Dude, that's already the new style reader-no paper needed on the iPhone 4.

@esagz2512 Actually, it's against the TOS to markup items to cover the fee.

[kicksoccera]

has anyone noticed that this guy has t-mobile on as his provider on his iPhone 4?!

[esagz2512]

you can always type in the credit card information... This will charge 3.5% + 0.15 when you do the transaction. Since this charges a fee, you should mark up what your selling to cover this fee and make the profit you wanna make. I think it's a cool app.
