I have purchased quite a bit of software from ebay - but there are a couple of 
things to keep in mind:

1) Check the rating of the seller to see if anybody has had a negative 
experience.
2) If the seller has no history on e-bay - how lucky do you feel?
3) If you win the auction and send your money - keep in mind that you only have 
30 days to file a claim with Safe Harbor - their insurance in case you don't 
receive what you paid for.
4) Also, you should try and check that the software is legal and can be 
registered.  I have heard of people on e-bay selling copies of software - last 
I heard, that was called pirating.

I should mention that the software I bought (4 times) came from sellers with 
good reputations.  The last seller I bought from was actually banned from ebay  
 after the auction, and it seemed to take forever to get my software (almost 
2 months).  That's how I found about the 30 day limit at Safe Harbor.  I did 
finally get the software though, and it was brand new and I could register it 
(MS Office 2000).

Hope this helps.
