The site looked legitimate, so I purchased a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and paid for the software with PayPal.  More about that in a moment.

The software is an electronic download, so I received an e-mail with two links for downloading the 32 and 64 bit versions of the software along with the product key that was supposed to be for three computers.

One of the files I downloaded did not work, so I contacted the seller for a resolution.  At this point I did not know that the seller sold me pirated software.  The seller kept giving me a canned response and refused to fix the problem.

After I found out that the seller was not legitimate, I asked for a refund by email and I did not get a response.  After a hostile chat one evening with one of their operators, I was told that my money would be refunded and I would receive a confirmation by email within an hour.  I never received a refund.

PayPay is supposed to have your back, so I filed a complaint with them (Case Number: PP-001-344-102-962).  That was a total waste of time.  The seller, pbdistributiononline.com, was CC'd on my complaint.  The seller's response was for me to return the items I purchased by mail to the following address with proof of delivery: 8297 Champions Gate Blvd, Ste 236, Champions Gate, FL 33896.

I was supposed to provide tracking information to PayPal after sending the software to the address above.  The seller knows that there was nothing to return.  How do you return an electronic download?

Pirated software

AUTHOR: jetames - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, June 30, 2011

If you wanted Windows 7, you could have gone anywhere and bought a legitimate copy.  Instead, you knowingly bought pirated software.
You are a player - you got played.
You got what you deserved.
