Ebay doesn't allow the sale of keys, and most likely they're stolen keys.

Check whether they are trusted sellers on Ebay. If they have a low rating or they are new, you might wanna dig a little bit.

I'd either get it for free, or just buy it at retail, better to avoid the grey market

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yeah Ebay says you aren't supposed to buy them on there. I have bought several of them and I have had no issues up to this point. You do take a risk though because Ebay / Paypal wont help you if you get screwed because it is against TOS.
