Is Ebay a bad place to buy Photoshop on?

I wanna use Photoshop, but I know that I'm not paying $500+ for it. I'm not a professional and I can stand to have an older version of this and still be satisified with it. I think they're on version 9.0 or CS 2 or something like that. I've seen 7.0 for a couple hundred and sometimes for much less on Ebay. If it has a valid serial code is this something that most people would still advise against or is it fine to get it from a seller like this?
 
check the sellers feedback, and other items they are selling, if it is a few hundred $'s then i would say it was legit, as a copy would probably go for far far less, if in doubt email the seller and just ask if it's legit etc.
 
yeah, as long is it still comes with a serial you should be good to go, I've got Photoshop but didn't buy it and am going to stop talking now, but things are possible when you look around
 
Cehck the sellers feedback for a WHILE DOWN, put it to 200 a page and look for all the negatives, ALOT of times its pirated software and you can tell ebcause ussaly its exposed in the feedback.

i agree with everyone else. make sure the buyer has alot of previous sales, note all negative sales, and then decide.

You can buy the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 for around $350 if your a student.

Or though my school you can get a copy for 40$, but its a pirated copy with a keygen...Since when did schools start endoring piracy? I was pissed when i got my copy, i thought i was getting an awesome deal, and then i got a stolen burnt copy lol.

your school gives you a burned copy and a keygen?! Are you sure they dont have the rights to make the copy, and that its a legit cd key?
 
Have you considered Photoshop Elements? It's a watered down version of Photoshop that's fine for most non-pro use. It's MUCH cheaper.

bad! bad! bad!... we're not tolerating piracy here...:mad:
 
Can a used copy be registered and still be legal? I ask because a lot of people on Ebay are selling used versions and I don't know if it's legal to register it under another person's name.
