Kyanar: What was the markup on the eBay card? I get mine from a fellow who has made a full time business of selling iTunes cards so us dirty foreigners can buy content, but the markup is about $6 on most cards which is pretty rough.
NonprayingMantis:
NZ prices are usually quoted *including* the sales tax of 15% GST
US prices are usually quoted *excluding* any sales tax (which varies depending on the state)
whilst GST wont explain all the difference in the above album, it is something that people nearly always forget when comparing US prices with NZ prices.

GST is not cjharged on iTunes Store purchases, as iTunes purchases are sold to you by Apple Australia Pty Ltd. GST is not relevant to iTunes music prices at all.

Are you sure? It's quite hard to find anything that says that.
The iTunes Store is provided by Apple Pty Limited ("Apple").It also asserts that services transactions may be subject to GST, but the IRD has always held that purchasing licensed content (music, software) from overseas counts as a service derived at the point of origin of the seller, therefore making it GST exempt.

You will have to read it a bit but basically you get or use a Onesmart card from AirNZ (which you can get if you sign up for Airpoints). It's a Mastercard debit card that you load up with USD at a rate you choose. But for many US services that want a US credit card, this card looks like a US credit card.
