eBay was correct. You do not have a right to sell the software. Only Apple possesses that right.
Could someone please paste the pertinent text from the legal contract for me to see. Thanks!
Go to Apple's site and find a copy of your license agreement. Surely, you can manage that.
eBay heavily "overprotects" copyright owners.
The BSA is hired by Apple to look out for copyright violations. They simply go after everything without any investigation. eBay plays along and so you are the one with the problem to do something completely lega.
Here is the relevant section of FCS's SLA:
3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software. You may, however, make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, original media, printed materials and this License; (b) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (c) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License. All components of the Apple Software are provided as part of a bundle and may not be separated from the bundle and distributed as standalone applications.
This means that you are allowed to sell the package if you are the original owner of the software.
It says you can transfer your rights. It does not say you can sell them.
Thanks very much Christoph. Now I'll have to think about how to sell it. It seems like eBay hasn't been very nice in the way they cancelled my listing. I did state in the listing that I purchased the software new and that I had deauthorized and removed it from my Mac Pro.
There is an obvious solution(s) for you, but given the restrictions of these forums we cannot tell them to you. So put on your thinking cap to figure it out.

Simply word the add so it states the software is free but there is a $xxx.xx transfer (or handling) fee.
