Transfer Apple Care without receipt, proof of purchase or Apple Care registration info (eBay).

Just bought an 128GB iPad on eBay. The SN# checker shows that this iPad has Apple Care+ until mid 2015. The seller of the iPad does not have a receipt, or documentation on the Apple Care+ purchase and thus cannot transfer anything into my name. Is there any way possible for me to take advantage of the warranty added to this iPad upon initial purchase with me being the second, possibly 3rd owner of this iPad and me having no way of identifying the initial purchaser.

iPad, iOS 7

You must request the transfer of a warranty in writing, and the procedure is included in the support section of the Apple website.

It sounds like I may be sol then, as a) I do no know the original purchaser and have no way of getting a hold of them. Thanks for the direction at least.


There is what I found here: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/docs/applecareplusforipadengl ish.pdf
