eBay's feedback can be too easily fixed.
I have to wonder why they are able to sell Office Professional 2010 at over 300 USD cheaper. They might say it's because it is their own home use purchase which they are selling, but if this is a busy eBay seller selling multiple products I would be suspicious.
It's your risk. I would walk away.

Do you think it is safe to buy this sofware off Ebay if the seller is rated as having a great rep. 98.5% positive feedback and listed on Ebay as "top rated seller".
The price on MS website is $499 the Ebay price (says new in box) is $174.99
thanks
