what was the seller's name on ebay? This is how I purchased my computer as well, and I've had no issues. I received the upgraded drive and extra memory.

I wouldn't see why not, since eBay is a public place? Not sure though.
Don't worry, you didn't get scammed. He should have been clearer as to what you were receiving but you got the good end of the stick.
I'm actually having a hardware issue on my machine with the video card, and I've already taken it in to the Genius Bar. I'll have to send it in, but they've looked at it a bit already and didn't bat an eye at the upgrades.

Applecare is tied to the particular machine, not the owner?

Yes, its tied to the machine -- BUT humans still need to be involved the process, so it is REGISTERED to the original owner.

AppleCare is transferable, but the original buyer has to do that.

Yea, but as stated already... it doesn't void AppleCare. It's a free upgrade. Does the machine work? Does it feel really fun to use? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then quit your crying. I realize your concern, but we have laid that to rest since the warranty is still in tact.

If you're worried that this guy may have been lying to you, why don't you call Apple and see if there is still Apple Care for your serial number?

Ditto.

Based on your response, you did not read the posts reassuring you of the warranty. Regardless, good luck and have fun with your new Mac.
