In 20 years of doing this I have yet to get a counterfeit product, Paypal, Ebay and Amazon all have policies to protect the buyer should you not be happy with your purchase you just need to do a little more research on the seller before you buy items over $20. Newegg it really depends on which part of the site you buy from and you don't have the protection you get from Amazon and Ebay should you run into a issue.Īll being said when it comes to Windows copies I have bought quite a few from Ebay but only from a few sellers that I know are custom builders that buy OEM licenses in bulk.
Amazon/Ebay are about the same you have nearly unrestricted listers with no real way for them to be filtered out until after they are reported a few times for being a scammer.
