Authorised reseller of Malwarebytes keys online?

[Kodu97]

Hi, I was wondering how I would become an authorised reseller to be able to sell Malwarebytes license keys on websites such as eBay and Amazon?

 I have already been in contact with eBay and they told me that I needed to become an authorised reseller to start selling Malwarebytes keys.

Greetings,

Please refer to the information on this page for details on the Malwarebytes solutions for resellers.

I hope this helps, and if there is anything else we might assist you with please let us know.

Thanks

I have looked at it earlier but that is for a large scale business by what I seem to understand, I am just a single seller doing this as a side thing.

[exile360]

As I understand it, that program applies to all resellers, large and small.  I don't know how pricing scales/margins differ between sizes etc., however a Malwarebytes Sales agent will be able to provide you such details once you contact them via the signup form linked to on that page.

[Kodu97]

Can you give me an email address or contact details of the Malwarebytes Sales agent please?

Yes, you fill out the form to sign up and once you have signed up an agent should contact you via email using the email address you provided when signing up as a partner.

Hi, I've gone to the website and I've tried registering to it but it keeps asking me for a company website which I do not have because I'm online planning to resell on online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon which do not require me to have a website nor do I have any use or need for it.

If I am not mistaken, you are not allowed to sell Malwarebytes Keys on Ebay.

I have been in contact with ebay and they told me that I would need to be an authorised reseller to be able to sell keys on there.

Just because ebay says something does not make it fact. Malwarebytes makes the determination  where a reseller can sell the product. Part of my reseller agreement (been one since 2009) stated we could not sell on ebay.

Malwarebytes does not just anyone become a reseller. You do have to have a legitimate setup business.

[exile360]

If you aren't able to complete the web form for signing up as a reseller then I would suggest contacting Malwarebytes Sales directly via the information and form found on this page.  They will be able to tell you what they offer and what is required for becoming a reseller.

Please be honest on where you wish to resell.

[exile360]

I'm sure they verify where/how keys are sold so it shouldn't be an issue.  If they don't allow selling on ebay etc. I'm sure they will explain that.  With that said, I've never heard anyone from the company explicitly say that they don't allow any resellers to sell on sites like ebay and Amazon so it could just be a matter of ensuring that such sellers are using legit reseller keys.

5.4. Internet Auction Sales Restriction. Resellerhereby acknowledges and agrees that, due to the complexity of Malwarebytes's Products, online auction sales do not provide adequate presales support. Therefore, Resellerhereby agrees and warrants that it shall not sell or otherwise make available Products via any online auction websites on the world wide web (for example but not limited to e-Bay), service, or similar bidding medium throughout the duration of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, where a corporate end user utilizes the Internet for an online based tender bidding-system this provision shall not apply. In addition, Reselleracknowledges and agrees that because inadequate presales support reflects poorly upon and tarnishes the Malwarebytes name a breach of this Section 5.4 is a material breach of this Agreement.

Thanks for pointing that out Porthos, I was not aware of that stipulation in the terms but it makes sense, especially given how many scammers we've had to deal with on sites like ebay.

I still do not know why some sellers can sell on ebay. Do not know where they get the keys or keycards.

[exile360]

I imagine they probably just buy them in bulk on Amazon or something but I don't know.
