1. It's not an iTunes problem

It's a dumbass eBay problem.

There's a fairly infamous eBay auction I remember, where someone sold a $100 Wal-Mart gift card for $125.

2. That's simple Apple pricing in action. Take anything, slap a 15% surcharge on it

and sell it again.

:P

3. People being shitheads ...

when I was your age, there was an auction on eBay for a single ibuprofen tablet; the highest bid was $55.
