Re: Is it safe to buy Win XP Pro from eBay ??

I just did all these 3 steps

1) Leave Negative feeback for the user
2) If you paid by paypal contact them and you may get some money back
3) Contact Ebay and get his account banned

First of all, I apologize for the multipost, I did not even know that
those things exist, but, live and learn.
Secondly, I thank you all for all your responses, for me this is very
educational.
Thirdly, I got burned, Yes, eBay ripped me off. I was so greedy
thinking I was saving a few dollars, and I end up losing $109.00
I should have waited until all of you responded, then I would have been
more careful.
What happened is, I saw one person selling not for "bid" selling a Win
XP PRO New Sealed Package,
And so I thought a new "BOX" and so I purchased it. after 4 days, USPS
delivers a simple envelope.
I open it up and found a Golden Genuine Win XP PRO, sealed in a sleeve,
but a sticker on top of the plastic states:
You will need to contact Microsoft to purchase a ONE USER LICENSE in
order to be able to activate this software before the 30 days trial
period ends.
Until now I am shocked as to what the $109.00 covers, just the MEDIA?
I really hate the Internet now, I will never, ever buy anything online,
It is a terrible feeling.
Now I am really in favor for the Internet to be regulated by Washington
DC.
All I wanted is a legal retail XP, I will even settle for the Home
edition.
eBay will get back to me, but I do not think that I will ever see my
money again.
As far as my new machine. I will borrow RED HAT from a friend and settle
for that.
Thank you all, but I am really upset.
