QuanBrian is correct. Apple Account funds can only be used for purchase of Apple Products and services at Apple.com/store and at Apple Retail Stores.

Nie możesz zapłacić w sklepie saldem Apple ID, bo działa ono tylko na usługi Apple, a Apple Pay używa karty płatniczej, którą terminal odrzucił.

Unfortunately, no. Under federal banking laws that is considered money laundering.

You’re welcome and there are many electronic items available online at Apple.com/store. Even the retail stores carry third party electronics etc.
