Selling Photoshop software on eBay

Is it legal for me to resell brand new, unopened Adobe Photoshop software on eBay?

How do I know what kind of license I have?  Where is that information located on the box?
Even the fact that you are interested in selling a new, unopened box sounds suspicious. It is not common for people to come by original (legal) unopened packages of Photoshop that they don't need/want.  Photoshop is expensive software, and not something that people would normally receive as an unwanted gift.  If you innocently bought this package at a vastly reduced price with a view to re-selling it, it is very likely that you have an illegal copy.
Legal copies are not available anywhere at vastly reduced prices. Counterfeited copies (even entire packages that look like the real thing) are widely available, which is why people in this forum recommend buying from the Adobe store directly or from a reputable distributor such as Amazon (NOT the Amazon marketplace, but Amazon direct).

    Your ability to sell software on eBay depends on the type of license you have to resell.
    You could make a better profit by simply returning it to your original seller.

  • Purchased used Photoshop CS4 on ebay..serial no good

    Have a legal original used CS4 but Adobe will not let me use the serial on case.. they say it is invalid and offer no help.  What can I do??

    I thank you all for your responses and you are right..buying software from ebay is probably not a good idea.  I wanted to have Photoshop 4 because I am still running XP and the item I purchased seems to be a valid Adobe released software (vintage) with the case and serial, etc.  I have been trying to find out from Adobe if there is something I can do but it is so hard to speak to someone and when they route you to Maylaysia or India they simply say ebay is not an authorized reseller so there is nothing I can do.  My time has expired with ebay for a refund so I guess I am SOL.
    I mistakingly thought since this is a valid legal release that it would not be a big deal to get it authorized.  WRONG!

  • I purchased PHOTOSHOP CS5 from eBay.  I can't install.

    I purchased PHOTOSHOP CS5 from eBay. The seller contacted Adobe and had them deactivate all previous installations of the product. He told me to go ahead and install and put in the coupon code and I should get the SN. I did and it tells me that my Coupon Code is not good. It is a version for teachers.  I am a teacher and do have an Adobe account.  I am finding it impossible to contact Adobe Customer Support - an actual person. What can I do?

    Usually the seller deactivates from the computer, but I don't understand this  "coupon code". When I purchased Adobe CS5 from Adobe, all I needed and got was the 24 digit serial number. If you were not given a serial number, something is not good.

    This might be it.

    Anyway, here's Adobe's phone number:

    As a note, we are users like yourself, forum volunteers, and not Adobe staff. They have the authority on licensing and activation.
    You might also contact the seller.  If there is no help from them, at least you can get a refund.

  • Is Apple providing any karaoke service such as selling karaoke software, whole set of karaoke hardware or even karaoke store? If yes, please give me information on this; If no, let me know if there are similar karaoke services providing in the future.

    No, Apple does not. What other companies might provide what you're looking for I don't know. Try searching the web for "karaoke software" or something similar.

  • What Photoshop software to use?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about buying Photoshop software but am not sure what exact software I need. I am an amateur photographer looking into adjusting old pictures from long ago. So I want to use a picture taken in 1980 that has me in it as a little boy. I want to adjust this picture so I can reuse the background of that original picture but I want to change the foreground, so to enter me as a 42 year old man inspite of me in the original picture as an 8 year old boy. What software best to use for this? Or will any Photoshop software do?
    Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance!
    Gr., Stijn

    I would suggest downloading a free trial of Photoshop Elements 13. It's very affordable and very user-friendly and thus would be a great way for you to get started with Photoshop.
    Of course, you can also download a free trial of Photoshop CC if you think you might eventually want to take advantage of the full power of Photoshop, but for a beginner wanting to do the kind of thing you described, Photoshop Elements will help walk you through your project knowing that you are not a professional who knows how to dig deep into the program. It will make life easier for you.

  • Please help I need advice about photoshop software!

    Hello there photoshop users! So I am semi new to using photoshop. I havnt purchased software yet because I want to make sure I purchase the right one. My plan is to take the photos I have taken and edit them to make into t-shirts. For example...I have this picture of me as the Queen of hearts for Halloween and I want to make it look like i'm actually in wonderland. I also want to take images from the internet and contstruct interesting photos. Which photoshop software would be best for me? I'm excited to start this new hobby I just need some good advice. Thank you!!!

    I also want to take images from the internet and contstruct interesting photos.
    I hope by »take« you mean »purchase« or »use only within the bounds of so-called fair-use«.
    I have no experience with Photoshop Elements but supposedly that has Layer and masking capabilities, too.
    So, while I personally would recommend Photoshop, you could just download the free 30-day-trials for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements to see which one meets your needs.
    And Gimp has been getting some positive mentions, so if you want to go with freeware that would be another option – again I have no experience with that.

  • Complicated- No original Adobe Photoshop Software Info for transferring to new computer...

    Ok, so in 2009 my father bought me a new computer (Acer, PC) and had his personal tech guy add Adobe Photoshop. Unfortunately, he never informed me of the Photoshop software, nor did I receive the CD installation or any other form of documentation and so I only recently discovered the Photoshop software while trying to transfer files to my newer laptop (Dell, PC). Now I'm just trying to figure out what my options are for getting the software information and having it transferred to my new laptop without any of the installation software. The old laptop (Acer, PC) barely works but I can access Photoshop, so if there is info on it I can provide to help with helping me with this issue, please request. I apologize if this question is in one of the other help sections but I didn't see it. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for your reply and help...wish I'd read it before using the Chat help. Just finished communications with someone through the Chat Help and had to disconnect to find the S/N. Now that I have it I can't seem to re start the open case Chat thing to finish getting the help I need. Regarding the info you gave me after stating I need the S/N I am completely lost and confused on. I have no idea how to figure out if its running in trial mode or if I'm the one it's licensed to. Though I'm pretty sure it's licensed to me. When I've tried registering PS on the older laptop it tells me its registered but when I look for it online it's not there. I shut down PS and reopen it and it asks me to go through the registration process again. Which I've done several times with no other results. I'm sorry, I'm new to all this and am at a loss as to how I'm supposed to proceed...
