Hi:

eBay will accept software for sale if you meet all of their written conditions.  Microsoft does the same thing as MetaStock/Equis, and bans the sale of their products to protect against pirated software.  However, many Microsoft products do sell on eBay and all those that I've seen whose items remain listed to end of auction have a statement to the effect that the software offered for sale meets all of eBay's conditions, and then states the conditions.  They don't ban the sale just because it is Microsoft, or MetaStock for that matter.  If you read the detail conditions in the email that eBay sent out, and then follow those conditions, you can sell your software.

I'm not a defender of Equis, but do have experience on eBay.  Equis/MetaStock has gone downhill considerably in relation to user needs since it was purchased by Reuters.  (I've been a MetaStock customer since the blue screen version 1.something running under DOS.)  Yet, every time Microsoft rolls out a new operating system, like it or not, MetaStock has to respond with a new piece of software that will run on it.  This is true for all major software.

<<I warned of this before, equis doesnt care if your product is original or
not, you can have an unopened unregistered item and theyll stop you from
selling it. THey want to kill the second hand market, so every person that
wants their soft must buy the latest version instead of buying a second
handed one, this was triggered by a girl that flooded ebay, i wrote to her
an apparently she bought a large amount of equis products on an auction , my
guess is a dealer who went out of bussiness, since metastck is not a widely
used program she got the soft so cheap that she started selling really cheap
ANother word on equies attitude: Tradestation started doing it too, ban ebay
auctions i mean, i bet my life that equis is behind it

Bye>>
