I clicked that, and followed the steps providing information then it just said to contact ebay via email, or live chat. Live chat is down right now.

I know nada about Ebay.Of course Ebay has to get their cut!!!

I guess Ebay doesn't care if someone is illegally selling PIRIFORM or YAHOO software on their website.
This does not even take into account the GOOGLE software that is probably also being sold illegally.
LET THE EBAY SUCKERS BEWARE !!!

I don't think that is true. Ebay has a list of rules and regulations, and this guy is breaking Ebay's listing rules.
Replica, Counterfeit Items and Unauthorized Copies
Counterfeits, unauthorized replicas, unauthorized items (such as counterfeit watches, handbags, or other accessories) or unauthorized copies (such as copies of software programs, video games, music albums, movies, television programs, or photographs) are not permitted on eBay. Unauthorized copies include (but are not limited to) copies that are pirated, duplicated, backed-up or bootlegged. It is illegal to sell unauthorized copies of media.
Guideline: If the product you are selling bears the name or logo of a company, but it wasn't made or endorsed by that company, don't list it on eBay.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
Report counterfeit or replica items.

I just was reviewing the eBay stand on copy-rights infringement and feel a good strong & continuous way to stop folks from selling all the SW from Piriform is to have them join the -VERO- program. Looks like a lot of other manufacturers, publishers, distributors...ect., are signed up.
Just a thought; however, I'm not sure how/who to forward this information to as a suggestion.
FYI:
eBay developed the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program to facilitate cooperation between eBay and rights owners protecting their intellectual property rights.
Highlights of the program include:
Expeditious removal of listings reported to eBay by over 5,000 intellectual property rights owners.
Proactive monitoring and removal by eBay of listings that violate eBay policies designed to prevent the listing of infringing items on eBay.
Ability to save searches and have the results emailed to you through Favorite Searches.
Suspension of repeat offenders.
Cooperation with rights owners seeking personal information on alleged infringers.
However, because eBay cannot be an expert in your intellectual property rights in over 25,000 categories, and cannot verify that sellers have the right to sell the millions of items they post on eBay each day, we need your help in identifying listings which do not appear on their face to infringe your rights.
It's been reported to MrG.
Thanks everyone!
I'll get them removed.
This is the funny side:
Quantity: 12 available

And I wouldn't doubt if that's why every now and then someone comes onto the forums all pissed off because they "bought" a Piriform product, then only later find out from us users on the forum that it's actually free. The money they spent unknowingly illegally paying for it could have instead went into making a legitimate donation.
