Please review these restrictions regarding software, especially with OS:

That said, selling some software is permitted. However take steps to not publicly show or disclose any keys, activation codes, etc., in the listing. Too many sellers never bother to protect a buyer when listing say a used computer and the Windows key is clearly listed in the pictures for example. Its a real problem.
Any used Windows software for example would be worthless if it has been activated already, but if its new in the Retail packaging, that would be fine. Same goes for other software. If its not new, its probably not going to be allowed (depending on what it is). Also make sure you are selling original versions, not copies.
Any software licensed to a business or under a volume license instead of an individual for example may be an issue for resale.
Downloadable software has much higher restrictions and guidelines.
