Sorry to break the news to you but i dont thiink they will be legit copys, thats assuming they even get through custums. There are thousands of chinese sites selling microsoft, coral, and other software. All fake and 90% of the time the serial key apairs on a black list so you coundnt even use them.

Hence my comment above!
There is pretty much zero chance they are real. Do not buy anything branded from China.

PayPal will not give you your money back if your order is taken by customs. That isn't the sellers fault as they have done their job (even though they're selling fake goods), it's your fault. If the parcel gets inspected, I doubt customs will release the package.

how long is a piece of string?
well thats a question many of us spend a lot of time researching. Basically anything is good as long as it makes a profit worthwhile and secondly is legal.
need any help with sourcing from china, let me know, we speak chinese (which happens to reduce the price a lot)
