make sure the person you are buying it off isnt knowen for dealing
pireted software.

Actualy, 1 USD is worth 55p (0.55 GPB)

Perhaps you should go for some thing like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WINDOWS-XP-H [...] dZViewItem
of course IF it turns out it isnt what it says it is, you could be out
£35, but the user has 100% and you can complain to eBay and im sure
some thing will happen.
