Anytime i sell something they cancel it for some stupid reason...mainly software. Yet when i check i see a 100 other people have the same thing as me and are aloud to sell them?!? I checked the ebay rules and for oem software you must sell with hardware, like everyone i will include a peice of hardware with it yet ebay cancels my auction and not other people.

I love when people put: "EBAY you don't need to cancel this auction for the following reasons...."

Actually, it's probably one of the more innovative companies in a long time. :p

They make a sh!t load of cash.

Very true, they are one of the only dot-coms to turn a consistent profit, quarter after quarter.

That's more than I can say for SOME companies *cough*amazon.com*cough*

do they give you a reason for cancelling it?
Nope, just said it was against their rules, yet my auction followed every part of their software selling rules.
someone is reporting you to ebay.
When you get ebay auctions closed u arent always being reported on, ebay does their own browsing of software auctions. Also VERO members have a right to close auctions which they do for no apparent reason sometimes (happend 2x to me). This one was by ebay themselves.
hey at least they havent suspended your account.
Oh they've done it 2x before and i had to get them to reinstate it. Both times it was errors on their part not reading my auctions clearly before canceling them. Good they didnt do it again since i just put up like 15 auctions yesterday...

Yeah i guess ebay didnt read that part of the description from myne..

Yes, but having a sh!tload if self serving anti-seller policies. If you look at my previous posts/threads regarding ebay, you can see that they set the system up so that buyer fraud against sellers means higher revenue for them.

Most / many / all (?) of the retailers that sell OEM Microsoft OSs are only s'posed to sell 'em with a motherboard or hard drive ... not just "hardware."

What kind of hardware were you selling the OS with?
