Hi,
I often see Sellers with very little history trying to sell Adobe CS6-era products as if they were new and unused.
For example:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/386783858156?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=...
The telling remarks:
"Includes serial key, validation code and installation disc. This is a stand alone version so the program Can Not Be Registered. The serial key can ONLY activate the program it can not be registered."
The point here is that it can't be registered by an eBay Buyer because the Adobe serial number - if still legitimate - has likely been activated against an Adobe account already. Without the current registrant submitting a Transfer of Ownership to Adobe, the Buyer won't be able to actually "own" that copy of the product.
The box has fresh shrinkwrap to make it seem brand new, but you can see its condition beneath that fresh wrapping.
I sometimes report these to eBay and they usually decline to take no action, so are essentially allowing sales of pirated of software on their site.
Is there any way beyond reports to inform eBay that this is a common and illegal practice for pirating older Adobe products?
