Not everyone is a charlatan on eBay and there definitely are bargains to be had on there with genuine software products. Unfortunately, it's not always easy/possible to know exactly what you're getting until it's in your hands. 

I've bought several "genuine" items (software, DVDs and games) from there over the years only to find it wasn't. It's a chance you take sometimes and then PayPal and eBay's Buyer Protections have come in very handy. Only once have I lost out (but that was due to my inexperience of eBay at the time).
