OEM Software


"OEM" or "bundled" copies of software may not be listed on eBay unless it is being sold with computer hardware.

Definition
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or bundled software, is software that is obtained as part of the purchase of a new computer. OEM software licenses usually prohibit the purchaser from reselling the software without the computer or, in some cases, without any computer hardware.

Warning
Listings offering OEM copies of software may be ended early by eBay. Multiple violations of eBay's OEM Software policy could result in the suspension of your account.
