I bought a CD on eBay, and I got a burnt CD. I expected the CD to be from the actual company that produces that software, not something he burnt on his computer. I've re-read the auction many times, over and over, trying to see if I missed something.
But the auction doesn't say anywhere that is a burnt CD or a new one, but you'd figure it's a new one.
I want to give him a negative feedback, but I have 100% possitive feedback. I'm affraid he'll give me negative feedback back from giving him a bad one.
Should I give him negative feedback?

The auction just doesn't say if it's an original or a copy, but one figures it's an original unless it states is a copy.

He should be reported to ebay, they will close him down for 12months.
Keep the copy as evidence. If you like the program alot then make a copy for yourself before sending it back but just dont tell anyone. In the end its not your fualt you tried to get a legit program.

I would give him a negative feedback esp. if the auction doesn't state it was a burned cd. Let people know that this is the practice of the ebay seller. Feedback is to inform other buyers of the sellers actions. I use ebay all the time and would want to know the truth about a seller. Good luck!!

I'm assuming your from America and so is the buyer?..If the Movie/Music/Whatever was not prduced by him that is against the law and he could be fined up to $250,000 with 10 years in federal prison for Copyright Infringement. But yes leave negative feedback as your suppose to assume its a legal copy.

first of all... is the burnt cd a copyright item. in other words, a copy of lets say windows Vista, XP, MS Office music, movie a game
anything that is copy right he can not sell, as a home burned pirate copy. so if it is a copyright Item go one better and report him to the company he will get jail time and a big big fine...

It depends on what the software is. If it's software that he or his company designed, then he has every right to burn it to a disc in whatever manner he chooses.
If it's something like Microsoft, Adobe, etc. software, then it would definitely *not* be on a regular burnt CD.
Edit: Why don't you post the link to the specific eBay item page?

In my opinion, selling burned software without specifically marketing it as such is shady at best, (illegal at worst) and definitely worthy of negative feedback. Good luck.

What he did is illegal. You shouldn't just give him negative feedback (which he totally deserves), you should report him! Start by reporting him to the company whose software he's pirating.

Contact E-Bay and tell them that the product was
not explained completely. False advertising. Then they will tek care of it. You should also contact the person send them an e-mail telling him the issue. BUT DON'T SETTLE THINGS. You might get jacked. So settle it with e-bay and you will defently get your money back.

Did he state he was selling a brunt cd, or did you pay for the real copy?
If he said it was real then yes.

You're the one who bought it, aren't you? If you wouldn't have bought it then that would be one thing but you're being a hypocrite if you buy it and then turn around and report him.
