    GOOGLE LINK: Explanation below plus request for assistance.

    Hi . Recently purchased some soft ware off Ebay, in return I received a google drive link?
    Never seen one before, although I do have both a Microsoft and google account.
    Checked with Ebay to ensure listing legal, which it is, plus the seller has made numerous sales of same software.
    Seller instructions is to click on link, access software using my email address, which I assume is my Microsoft/google account email??
    I have been having a running battle with seller for further details, but they insist they have provided all info required.Not very helpful so have turned to PC Help for advice/help thanks.

      Hello.

      What software did you buy?

      You probably received a google drive link to download the software from there.

          Did you click on the link?
          If yes did you put in the same email address you used on ebay?

            I attempted to but nothing occurred???

            [COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)]Sellers instructions here[COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]:[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]“Thank you very much for your purchase. what will happen . you will receive a link, only yours, in this google link, we will register your email and only you will have access to the download. Once we’ve sent you the link, you can click on it and request access”

            [COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)]The link came via Ebay email/message,I copied it and pasted it into address bar then clicked on it but to no avail?
            As stated I am working in the dark,as its my first experience of this type of software transfer.

            If I can be walked through actions I should take I would be grateful Thanks[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

                I have gone back to original source, Ebay message.Clicked but nothing? Initially did try to copy and paste to “Word” to see if I could activate it from there?Have gone back to seller but they are adamant I have all the info I require,and to be fair their feedback for the same item is good,so it has to be me

                Could there be a cliché in my OS Win 10 not activating link?

                I could post the link by PM if that is of any help,as at the moment Im stuck and disappointed.Final action would request refund via Ebay?

                  I think we should close this thread, as I think the best thing I can do is go back to Ebay for promised refund,and call it a day,as I need to get offline GPS sat nav up and running asap, have found another vendor who provides it as I require ,on a micro sd card.So please mark CLOSED and many thanks for help.[/color][/color][/color][/color]
