I heard some nightmare stories, a guy sold two softube plugs on ebay, the buyer then turns around and raises a paypal case because they where bundled and he was told that only the owner of the hardware will be supported in the future, including given codes to plug ins...which means the plugs won't work.

But it did not stop there, later on in the chat this guy claims he was told that its likely no one can revoke the license....so been so vague he asked for his money back, got it and the PLUG INS too!

I don't know what to do if this happens to me, can softube etc etc revoke a license someone wrong fully keeps after a dispute, be it cause of a transfer fee or scam or whatever?

two developers told me that the agreements clearly state that NO ONE has the right to resell bundled software..I was about to buy the SS Native set that came with someones SSL2 Plus and now im skepticle.

Anyone know more please share advise.

thanks!

I just purchased SSL Native Drumstrip and Vocalstrip bundle off of the buy and sell forum aswell and so far have had no problems. I would reach out to SSL to double check but the purchase was authorized by SSL itself see here https://solidstatelogic.zendesk.com/hc/ ... r-approval
It is all also mostly done through ilok (SSL) so you should also look into iloks policy aswell
https://solidstatelogic.zendesk.com/hc/ ... k-licenses

It can be pretty daunting and worrying that you might get scammed but when in doubt reach out to the developers if not look at the buy and sell forums highlighted topics for developers and their policies it really helped me understand this world of buying second hand plugins.

some extra tips always buy with paypal goods and services, I would not trust Ebay with digital goods at all, and purchase with a credit card whenever possible!
