Would ebay like this email that this member sent me

I bought some software that is used in main car dealers so i knew the software was going to be a copy but i still bought it :o so i would like to know what you would do after reading the message i got.

Just to let you know I have just burnt the disks and they have been sent to you - please see the instructions (supplied on the disk) before install. Would HUGELY appreciate positive feedback, importantly with 5 stars across the DSR's - where you rate things like communication, item as described etc. Any problems, or if you are unhappy, drop me a message through My Messages on eBay

    So you bought an illegal copy of some software and now want to report the seller for something else?

    The seller by sending that message is not breaching any rules but if you dislike being told what FB to leave you can always mark them down on their communication DSR.

    It is illegal to buy or sell pirated software in the UK, so since you are both breaking the law why would you even consider for one moment reporting the seller? You know he is a crook, you have gone along with his illegal sale and now you want to report him for a minor breach of ebay etiquette, I don't get it.

    Just wondering how they can ask for full stars when they know they are selling copies. This seller only sells the software i bought and they have goot very good feedback for it.

    Because thieves like you buy it.

    That's an odd question, you are knowingly buying fraudulent goods yet seem to think the seller is at fault and not you. It is as much an offence to knowingly buy fake goods as it is to sell them.

    I would almost mention that it is incredibly brave for someone on a very popular website to admit breaking the law..I do hope you haven't ever posted anything at all that might identify you if someone is feeling a bit malicious.

    So you'd shop someone for stealing from the government, but have no problems yourself?

    If this software happened to be Autodata then good luck, they're pretty good at going after pirate users.
