Not necessarily. They will cover some things that were not bought from eBay depending on the digital item, who and the speed in which the dispute was made.
How did we get here? Steve never said that he bought it from a disreputable company; just that he can't use it (with no details) and can't get his money back (I guess he waited too long -- more than 30 days).
Steve, did you look at the Q and A here?: Link: http://www.cyberlink.com/support/purchase-faq-list.do Also you may want to start your own topic (thread) and ask for help here. It may be faster. We'll need a lot more information though.
I've had first hand experience with PayPal outside of eBay,
unless something has changed, PayPal will only cover goods not received, not the quality of goods. Which means that if Steve has a phony key, PayPal will say "you have your key, it's not our problem that it's a phony key" With me it was Adobe Photo Shop, I received what looked like a proper installation disc, box and key. A little while later I was locked out of the software. I called Adobe and the key was indeed bad and PayPal wouldn't do anything about it, even with proof from Adobe "sorry, only covered for goods not received, not the quality of goods". I could have got a bag of rocks in the mail and it wouldn't have made any difference to PayPal _ expensive lesson learned.
And as far as Steve is concerned, he never did say where he bought it from, it was assumed that he got his product direct from Cyberlink (not my assumption) and if that's the case, all he has to do is create a support ticket, and as you know, they will look after Steve.
This whole thing with Steve looks suspicious, either he got a bad key from a scammer, or he is knowingly using a key and product from a torrent site which isn't working. He is now trying to get help through Cyberlinks forum because he knows that he can't go to customer service.
These are all assumptions on my part of course and until we hear back from Steve, if we do, that's pretty much the end of this. If Steve does answer here, he will be either very defensive of me accusing him of piracy for obtaining a Cyberlink product from torrent site OR he will be helpful and willing to help us help him _ it's either or with "key" problems.
It's also possible that Steve solved his problem through customer service after all...
