Hello fellow SaleHooers this is my first ever post!
I'm very new to all of this so just trying to find my feet!

I'm currently looking at items to potentially sell on eBay.
I have noticed software for sale on DHgate but they sell the serial only so no box or cd.

They claim it's legit?

Has anyone had dealings with this?

Thanks

Hello Aimee and Jamie,

Welcome to SaleHoo! I think DHgate would not be an ideal source for legitimate/authentic software programs. remember that they are based in China so the likelihood of getting a copy of the real software is relatively high so best to avoid them when sourcing branded products. But they are a good source of generic no-brand items.

All the best!

Yeah I know that first hand as I brought some brand name iPhone protective covers and now I'm experiencing a few issues with the product. out of 60 I have sold 6 are faulty or not complete.

They are fakes but passed the fakes test.

Thanks

From experience China is not very strict about the brand's authenticity probably why many fakes are readily available from their end.

Just remember that selling fakes can get you in a lot of trouble.

Take care :)
