If you write software for fun, or commercial gain. and object to people selling it on ebay, please sign up to their VeRo program:

http://pages.ebay.co...grams-vero.html

This enables you to request them to stop an auction, if it contains your 'intellectual rights' or copyrighted materials. And will prevent people profitting from your hard work.

Is there a comprehensive list of software for Smartphone anywhere? I seem to remember one off msmobiles.com but can't find it...and whilst Handango is good it only has logo certified apps. Be great to have a single point of reference for this

....with a notable exception being NotBad v.1? Hmm. Maybe Mboden couldn't be having with it being there?

[awarner]

But NotBad is not a free app anymore.
so promoting a free pre-release would not be fair for MBoden
after all the hard work he's put into it.

[Chris b.a.r.f.]

NotBad v.1 is still available for d/l from Mbodens homepage...

Sadly, the freeware NotBad is gone, I still haven't found a job and I have to make a living. On the positive side NotBad is back and it's much improved.

[Chris b.a.r.f.]

Oops.
Apologies dude (and to Mboden), I stand corrected. :oops:
(but it might be an idea to remove it from the main page?)

[awarner]

Mono's and midnight's sites complement modaco

And Welcome to the site

What the heck!!!????

Are you guys a bunch of idiots??? There is NOTHING WRONG with selling software on eBay that YOU ALREADY PURCHASED. Often the complaints about this stupid eBay Vero crap is that people cannot buy McAfee software that is FAR (FREE After Rebate) and then resell it on eBay.

Selling stuff on auction sites is EXACTLY THE SAME AS HAVING A GARAGE SALE and that is exactly the principle that eBay & other auction sites were founded upon. You should be able to sell anything, even software as long as you paid for it in the first place and are not selling pirated software.

So you all need to quit complaining and whoever started this post is an IDIOT. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE GOOD REASON why one should not be able to sell software on eBay, besides for obvious pirating reasons.

Anyone have a decent response to this? BRING IT ON.

[PaulOBrien]

Er, I think you're missing the point.

There's nothing wrong with selling software on eBay as long as doing so doesn't break the EULA, hence you are entitled to do so.

What exactly is the point you're trying to make... you've read this post right? It is about people selling software on eBay when they DON'T have permission.

Paul [MVP],

Like what kind of "permission" are they supposed to obtain and from WHO. Given my McAffee virus software example.

If I bought it, didn't open it, then I should be able to garage sale it out to anyone I choose and not have to worry about that reselling crap.

[PaulOBrien]

True, but that's not actually what this post is about?

In this instance (not that it's relevant), I think you could probably resell it. If you HAD opened it, then by doing so, you would probably technically be bound by the terms of the EULA, and hence could only resell the software if that permits it.

Strange, but true

[Will]

well I must be the idiot!

re-read my introductory first post, and then consider the end of the penultimate paragraph of your post.

I posted for information to modaco users, if you want to argue the legal status of pre owned software, please post in the off topic section.
