I have NEVER had a bad experience with an eBay powerseller.
I have unintentionally purchased pirated software via Ebay, even though I did my best to ensure that I was buying "the real thing". Just because someone has good feedback doesn't mean they are not selling illegal software - a pirated copy can work just fine, which accounts for the good feedback, but you might not be able to upgrade that software in the future, or it might expire in 30 days, you never know. Probably the only thing you can do to make sure would be to contact the software company and ask which Ebay sellers are "authorized". Caveat emptor.
