My items were removed by eBay

kerocelee — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 11:33:58 GMT

There were 4 items were removed from my list by ebay today, and this is not the first time my items were removed. I`m really confused about that, because I didn`t sell fake item.
Is there anyone can tell me why my item was removed and how to resolve this problem, please?
By the way, the items are Office 2010 Pro, and here is the picture about my item with the certificate of authenticity on its packaging.

The notification should explain the reason.

If Microsoft request items to be removed then ebay need to comply.

Microsoft probably don't authorize you to resell these items even if they are genuine.

And if there are others listed, they may not have been reported yet.

Hi , regarding MS software and in context with this post , there are basically 2 major types of licenses , which have different conditions

One is oem ( original equipment manufacturer) whereby the software is sold to a system builder which attaches the license to a new machine and then sells the machine ( which is a condition of this license type)

The other is Fully Packaged Product (standalone) which is sold at retail only , whereby the recipient can attach to a new or oem machine and is licensed to personally use that machine without being obligated to sell the new machine

My guess is your software is oem and you are a private licensee of a never attached oem software incl key , and sought to sell

Distributing oem software + key by a private Seller is fraught with potential licensing complications

In the past there was a loophole to enable private Licensee distibution of orphan oem software + key , in obvious non-commercial quantities but I think has become more difficult now.

The oem EULA presumes a license is currently attached to a machine

Online auction sites seem to presume the license has been attached

But what of a non-branded ( so to speak) oem license bought by a private person at Authorised retail and decides not to attach the license and so the License is now surplus ? Are they obligated to return the unused license to the distributor for a full refund or is it supported to transfer (sell) the license to another Licensee ?
