Microsoft selling on eBay

Microsoft

I think it is interesting when dealing with auctions as to what is legal and illegal. EBay seems to be a great and widespread website that has capabilities beyond most. I wonder when it goes from auctioning something legal to illegal if most of these transactions are picked up. Are all of the sellers on eBay and the transactions they are making viewed by someone working for eBay? Something that really gets me going is that people risk selling something so illegal on the eBay. I think that there are a lot of other ways that are less known and not likely to get caught to sell a product. EBay is such a big and powerful website, that while there are millions of transactions going on, they are the most likely to be targeted for theft. I think that eBay should be going after the people who used them to sell this pirated software. The reason for this is to prove a point that not only Microsoft is at risk and going to do something about it but so is eBay. If someone known that by selling something illegal on eBay is going to get them possibly sued by eBay as well, they are going to be less likely to go through with it. EBay is a great tool for selling and buying things, but it is really so open to theft and problems, how can you trust someone that you do not know and could be any place in the world?
