It is very possible you might get contacted later by one of the
governmental agencies or ebay about the scam they were running.

That is BS. Adobe profits are up by 23% this quarter. When they
instituted their onerous copy protection they assured us that it would
allow them to lower prices -- the liars.
LOL! That gave me a chuckle, Tom. Adobe follows the same path of
corporate greed as other large corporationsand
Photoshop is still the standard. My son took a photography class a
year ago in university and that is what they used.

What he was talking about was the CS suite that Adobe sells. The
individual component is cheaper which is good news.

Many coverdisks on the magazines I buy at Barnes and Noble have a
free 30 day trial of Adobe CS3. Have the daughter install it first
on her machine, then when it runs out, put it on a friend's machine

Actually, Photoshop retails (academic version) for about $270 for the
whole extended version.
That's right. Adobe offers very good deals to students. Go to an
established vendor like academicsuperstore.com.

I doubt it.
If the teacher is requiring it, they should supply an educational
discount for it.
Adobe has a very good education discount program.
AVOID THESE DOWNLOAD places like the plague. Anyone who will not
give you media with the program or offer it for a small fee is a rip
off

I seem to recall that you can actually put a stop on a cashiers
check, but it is not free.
You can see if the check has been presented for payment yet.

This has happened to me before. They will build up a 100% reputation
and then sell a whole bunch of stuff in a short amount of time and
not deliver then their rating plummets.
You do a dispute resolution with Ebay but that has nothing to do with
funds!! (My beef with them)

I always look at feedback for the seller. Also look at how long they
have been on Ebay.
A relative newcomer with a 100% feedback is not reliable. But
