Adobe Photoshop CS3 on ebay
I see that ebay is selling the Adobe photoshop CS3 full version for £77.99 + £2.99 p&p. Is this cheap?
I need some kind of photo editing software and thought this might be a bargain.
The seller has 100% feedback and on this item
Thanks

My sister answered sch an ad years ago for Photoshop 7. She sent $75 for a software program that retailed for $600 A plain brown envelope arrived with a disc that had obviously copied. A much xeroxed note was attached that warned not to register the software. The software installed and worked fine but we both knew it was a pirated illegal copy.
I was using a legal version 4.0 at the time of this deal. I had paid the $600 and was a registered user. I've since moved on to Photoshop Elements 6 & then 7.0. I've discovered it can do everything I need to do with graphic editing and all for just over $60. Be aware that if a deal seems too good to be true it often is.

If it is not genuine, surely PayPal (if you use them) should help with a refund?

I suggest paying via paypal too - how many sales has the seller had? If there are over 600 or so then it could be legit

I would just use ebay's 'ask seller a question' feature and ask if it's the real deal.
Everybody will see the question so the seller should answer.

I'd be very surprised if this was genuine, pay pal does give some security but only if the account holder has a bank account or credit card with the funds still in the account.

It may be genuine... I'm not saing it definitely is, but I know that when the graphic design company I do some work for upgrades it's software it often sells on the old programs and licences... Photoshop CS4 has been out a while now, so the prices for CS£ would be about right...
I still use CS2! But have CS3 and CS4 in work and other than better animation and a few extras like tabbed browsing, there's not a lot of difference.

Hi there, yes it seems to be and installs fine on XP. Seemed to update itself and everything alright.
However, I havent registered it yet and don't intend to as I'm just using it as a one off purchase and don't intend to upgrade to CS4 etc in the future, which is where there might be problems as its the U.S version of the software.
But so far, after just one days use mind, I'm very happy with the gamble I took in purchasing it.
Cheers
