Chief Architect Sales should be aware...

As a DIY'er Im trying to find an affordable license and thought I would look at eBay.  Wanted you folks to see this (pretty obvious) illegitimate auction from Hungary.

No way this is legit, hopefully CA can shut this down.

Nothing they can do about it, and its been that way for years. Also it is illegitimate as it doesn't give you a functioning Key. So it doesn't harm sales

Thank you for letting us know.

 

We can't really prevent this, but we can ask eBay to remove the ads and we will do this on a fairly regular basis.  It's a bit like wack-a-mole though because it usually doesn't take long for new ones to pop back up.  If we can get information about the seller, we can also report them to the authorities for possible legal action.

 

As far as looking for used versions of Chief Architect, you might want to check out the Offering Services section of this forum:

The other thing you should consider is speaking directly with one of our sales representatives about other options that may fit your needs, such as our rental program or whether a product like Home Designer Pro might be a better alternative:

Thanks guys for the responses.  I knew AC cant block the seller directly but would need to request the seller being delisted.  I flagged the seller but I, alone, can't get them delisted.
Also thanks for the link to offering products for sale.  Will look at tmrw.  That is the only downside to this drawing fun, is I look at computers all day.  Makes it painful to look at them for fun.
