"Not for resale" DVD

Hi - I've got a sealed DVD I'd like to sell on eBay - but the label says 'not for resale'. Is that meant for shops rather than private sales? Best regards Tim

    It is to stop newsagents taking all the free DVDs from newspapers and selling them singly separately in their shop. There is nothing to stop you selling them privately on Ebay.

    Nothing to stop you unless the original supplier complain. Its not illegal its just breaks their terms.

    If ebay pull it dont do it again.

    I got Finding Dory from SkyStore (like so many did with the free buy and keep dvd) I looked selling the sealed DVD and noticed that had Not For Resale on the back where usually the barcode is!
