Re: Can I upgrade?

Bruce;
Ebay does make some effort.
I had an item pulled because of poor wording on my part.
It seemed like I could be selling illegitimate software which was not the
case.
They did not check with me, but the item was still removed and I had to
re-list after rewording.
IIRC, it was day 2 of a 10 day auction.

My point is there is some effort on EBay's part.
But it is small enough that no one should count on it for protection.
