Are you for real?
Microsoft had already made their money on the item I was selling. I was making my little bit on top, in the same way any shop/retailer does. As I was (and still am) Microsoft registered (Microsoft Partner ID: 1556078), and doing it all legally, I've got every right to earn a living. And I was earning it by selling the items at a much lower price than any other seller. Other Ebay sellers complained, and Microsoft assumed I was selling fake goods. They then changed the claim to not selling within the EULA and System builders agreement (as I proved it was a genuine Microsoft product), but they were wrong on that point too. I proved them all wrong, and Microsoft are happy for me to sell the items on Ebay.

One thing worse than double standards, is people who think they know what they are talking about, and judge others on their preconceived ideas.
When you know what you are talking about, feel free to make a judgement. Until then, keep your argumentative, discriminative, and ill-informed comments to yourself.
Please think before you reply.

PS: Sorry for drifting off topic. That is the end of the matter.
