So then I traced the sellers he bought from through his feedback and they were selling tons of microsoft. So would not be concerned about 1 copy. | Quote:

Anyway your issue and your stress is wasted. Worst case senario is that you are charged with piracy. The amount is $200 so you go to local magistrates court for a fine or good bahvaior bond. This will never happen and is the absolute worst that would happen if it did. I sold 50 products before I had any ideas they were ⊗⊗⊗⊗. Nothing ever happened dont stress | Thanks very much you guys, really appreciate for your advise
The only thing im worry about the fine, in the worst case scenario
because i read in the microsoft report, so many ebay user got caught by microsoft investigator or through a buyer report around australia and america
But if the seller in china,nothing they can as you all know china is communist country
Firstly: microsoft will send a letter to the seller and force them to admit they sold non-genuine product
Secondly: the seller contacted microsoft and admit they selling non-genuine,microsoft will book an appointment with them
If the seller agree to pay the fine: i saw usually over $1000-$6000
if the seller don't agree,then going to magistrates court, THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM,the judgement always do on favor of microsoft and the lowest fine i seen in 10 case, guess $29000 ,the highest is $150000
Although i sold only 1,it scared and make me so stressed
I think you guys better very carefully if you are selling non-genui on eBay
Some of buyer is spy from microsoft trying to **** you up
