NEED HELP! selling microsoft office 2016 keys
Hi sellers. I’m new to selling on amazon uk.
I would like to know if its okay to resell Microsoft office 2016 keys bought from ebay uk here on amazon uk?
Since items being sold on ebay only send keys via email, and the sellers guarantee those are genuine keys (or else it would have been removed from ebay).
What are the specific rules on amazon uk regarding selling such digital products.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you

Not a chance…
I know from personal experience, as I work in IT. Half the keys on sale on eBay are fake keys, that get blocked after 3 / 4 weeks.
On top of that, the eBay sellers sell the same key to more than 1 person.
To be able to sell Microsoft software on Amazon, you would need to be an approved Microsoft supplier, and trust me the hoops you would have to jump through to get that stats well, it wouldn’t be worth it.

It’s probably a good way to achieve a lifetime ban from selling on Amazon!
Having said that, I’ve seen sellers here offering them, but I guess they just haven’t been found out…yet!

some of the listings for Microsoft office 2016 does not require approval, that’s strange provided how strict amazon are with such product.

But they are digital keys, you cannot send it through post? Software is downloaded through Microsoft website and CD’s are no longer manufactured by Microsoft. Even when bought directly from Microsoft website, the key and download link are sent via email.

The keys sold on ebay have to be authentic, they are accepted when entered on Microsoft website. If they provided a 3rd party link to download the software then its obviously fake, and would be illegal. But that’s not the case. The sellers have sold over 1000+ keys, and have been selling for years, how so? The keys are less then £10 each?

What would be a good starting product for a new seller such as myself?

Do some research first (lots of it) and don’t ask sellers on the forum as no-one here can suggest something without upsetting other sellers of that product!
