Auctions – Reference and Guidance OEM Software - Policy |

|
When computer manufacturers build their hardware, they often
include purpose-designed software either to enable basic use of the machine
or to provide additional program functions. This software is known as OEM (which stands for Original
Equipment Manufacturer), or “bundled software” and is provided as an integral
part of the overall package when a new computer is purchased. There is usually a software licence with the new computer which
prohibits this OEM/bundled software from being resold, unless it is included
with the computer hardware as a complete transaction. eBay’s policy (please also visit eBay and read the Help pages – a link is here) is that OEM
or bundled software may not be listed unless it is part of a complete package
which includes the hardware to which the OEM software relates. If you are unsure about whether software that you want to sell falls
into the OEM/bundled category, we recommend that you also read the following
related items which are on the main eBay website:-
