You should never buy Applecare directly from Apple and always from ebay. It costs a lot less (185€ vs. 350€ for a MBP). Make sure to check the sellers’ ratings.

I successfully bought Applecare from ebay twice. (And heavily relied on it in one case. Apple replaced pretty much every part of my MBP without any fuss.)
