TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 11:23 pm With all my "bad" luck on ebay, I am considering to stop using ebay. This time it's not coin related. I was selling an OEM version of Windows 98. Also a piece of hardware with it to conform with ebay rules. Anyways, ebay cancelled my auction! And the bid was up to $17.50 I could have used for coins. I mean is it so wrong to sell something you no longer use? David Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 11:41 pm Apparently they don't want you to sell OEM software (software that comes with your computer). Just ticks me off. Looks like I will have to find somewhere else to get my coins...which isn't gonna be an easy task.

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 11:44 pm I think it's amazing how they pick and choose the rules that they will enforce. I think Microsoft probably watches ebay and reports these under the VERO rules. Somehow, it wouldn't seem so bad if they would consistently enforce ALL of their rules, not just the ones that upset the big companies. Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 05/19/2005 11:56 pm I would close my ebay account right now but I need to let my transactions finish out as people still owe me money and I have yet to receive some items. David Report this Post to the Staff
national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 05/20/2005 11:42 am Microsoft is very picky as to where and how their software gets sold. They are not a company to take lightly. ebay has no desire to get involved with them over anything. As big as they are, Microsoft could buy and sell them daily. Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 05/20/2005 12:34 pm I might stay onboard with ebay as it's really the only coin market that is readily available to me. And I don't care much for the local dealer here in town. David Report this Post to the Staff
