You might want to read the forum rules about pirating.

SUBSIM Review has a longstanding policy against software piracy. We do NOT allow discussion or even mention of warez, abandonware, peer-to-peer game swapping, game cracks, illegal download sites, or illegal file-sharing. Nothing will get you banned faster than pointing people to illegal software distribution sites. Don't ask for serial numbers, manuals, or cracks. Any admission that you have in your possession illegal software can and usually will result in revocation of your Radio Room forum account and permanent ban. We do not care what you do on your computer in your home, but do not discuss it here.
Support computer game programmers buy legally purchasing their work. They have to eat too, you know.

You may get yourself banned, that's not up to me.

But if it was me, AND you indeed did get a pirated version form ebay, I would report them to ebay and get my money back and get them banned. If in fact what you say it the truth. But it doesn't make sense to me that you would buy one from ebay if you had one "on the way". It takes longer to get one from ebay then from a reputable dealer.
