Thе following information mау hеƖр сƖаrіfу thе reason уουr listing(s) wаѕ removed:

Yου mау need tο obtain thе manufacturer’s consent tο sell thіѕ software.
I highly recommend that you contact EBay consumer support at the bottom of the page you quoted above. I am sure that it will be a better way of result out why they removed your listing than asking random Yahoo users.
From what I see above, even if, it seems as even if your software has a separate item number which does not include hardware.
the last line off their email is why it was cancelled
OEM software is supplied with the condition that it is only sold as part of a hardware package. It cannot be sold separately.
Although we all reflect we are buying software, in most cases – and certainly with Microsoft – you are really only buying a license to use the software on one machine. You do not own the software, so you can’t sell it.
