    Ummm: If it sounds too good to be true -- caveat emptor.

    That's an absurdly low price.

    The software might work for you, I suppose, but the key may have been stolen or cracked.

    "3 YEARS/PRE ACTIVATED /100% GENUINE/NO ACTIVATION KEY"

    Really?

    I can smell it from here.

    BD uses BD Central -- have to open an account and download and manage devices from their. Don't recall if you need a key to open the account. You get to BD Central initially from a link in an email sent by Avangate, BD's sales agent.

    There is so much that appears to be not right with this and yet yet the "Seller" has 1200+ positive ratings.

    Maybe Gold IS Where you find it even if it fell off the truck.

    On the other hand BD is extremely generous with extended free trials (6 months-1 year). Maybe the seller is affilliated with BD and they are just pushing out nearly free copies to boost claims of market share and increasing the size of their malware network.

    Doesn't eBay have some type of guarantee program?

    With the selle'rs 1,200+ positive ratings over the past 12 months it might be worth a shot IMHO. Dunno if eBay has someone that does something like Fakespot for Amazon that uses an algorithm that tests the integrity of reviews.

    98.9% And I didn't ask that. I believe I know how these are sourced legitimately. Just want to know if anybodies had any fubars. I have 250+ days left on my BDIS so I don't need this now. And I believe this will still be around. No affiliation with seller.

    To be clear reread my OP.

    eBay is pretty good with its money back guarantee.

    You have nothing from dealing with reputable sellers.

    This thread is a couple of years old but not yet closed so I thought I would add a comment...

    Namely, I have several acquaintances who, for several years, have been buying & using licenses for some "big name" AVs, from EBAY. They bought the licenses at low prices (cheaper than *egg* specials*) from long-time Ebay sellers with excellent buyer reviews. I assume these Ebay sellers buy huge lots of licenses, as resellers, so that they get lower prices and can re-sell them at bargain prices & still make a profit. That's just a guess on my part, however.
