I've purchased over 150 items and sole over 100 items on ebay and have only been "burned" twice. I did purchase my MSDN Universal subscription on ebay and had no problems registering or using the subscription. If you do decide to purchase on ebay, always check out the feedback of the seller - that will usually tell you whether or not it is safe to make the purchase.

>That's a pretty good price though if the only variant is the price compared to other established resellers.
