How would I make sure its legit?
You can't despite what anyone says. You pays your money and you takes your chance! Think of it as gambling at a casino and putting $50 on RED (or BLACK).
Escrow is good and helps but isn't foolproof as I experienced with a $100 LL Bean card I purchased on Bitify from a higly rated seller. About 4 weeks after releasing escrow I got a letter saying the card I used was purchased with a "bad" credit card and I ended up paying them $100 to cover it. Win some... lose some. Part of the game.
Quit spreading FUD.
1. USE ESCROW!!!
2. USE THE F'KING CARD AT A RETAIL STORE
3. RELEASE ESCROW.
I can't believe how f'king stupid you people are. In fact I give up. I'm going to simply toss this sh't in the trash can. It's not worth the headache of trying to sell.

That makes sense. Not.
