    report it to paypal + get your money back, forward them a copy of the email if need be,...

    you have the other choice of saying you want a full refund as it's a copy , if he refuses accept the inevitable and give him bad feedback for selling copies so others know in the future

    definitely report them to ebay for selling pirates, and also report them to FACT (the body that deals with pirating and fakes).

    yep tell the seller you want a refund, if he refuses report him to ebay for selling pirate dvds and leave a negative.

    Angelcake, I had a bad experience just yesterday. Bought a t-shirt, under the assumption it was 100% cotton (even sent a email to check) and when it arrived it was 100% nylon (Can't wear synthetic fabrics, due to eczema). I was offered a refund, which is what your seller should do, as he/she shouldn't have mislead you.

    I dont think he is telling the truth about ebay stripping the adverts if they mention copy.They would pull his whole listing if he did that.He just ommitted to mention it because he knows it is illegal.

    What happened in the end? Have you got a refund?
