Emailed the guy and he said:

Dear Sir / Madam,

This software can be registered with and upgraded by Adobe.

This is not an auction but a buy now listing for £16.49.

To order the software simply send £16.49 through your Nochex account to: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Be sure to include the title of your order)

Your order will be shipped within 48 hours of reciept of payment.

Alternatively you may pay via Check

Sincerely,

Easy Traders

Almost worth a punt for that price, but I have severe doubts about it...

Nope - he will only sell for £16.49 through Nochex, bypassing ebay.  Notice it is 
closed bidding and you cant buy it unless he authorises you as a bidder - which he 
wouldn't do when emailed.  He told me "This is not an auction but a buy now listing 
for £16.49."

Still - even though it can only be measured by Douglas Adams ultimate improbability 
drive, there must be more than 0% probability...

Regardless of his/her feedback on eBay, there is exactly 0% probability that
his individual is selling a full, legal copy of Photoshop for £17.

His entire eBay history consists of 4 transactions. He was the *buyer*
in all 4. The *most expensive* of these was £1.00!

This is an obvious scam. You should alert ebay immediately.

*most expensive* of these was £1.00!
