Blocked Product Key

Question
-
Hi,
I just bought 'sealed' Windows 7 Ultimate Retail edition from Ebay. I have attempted to activate it and it's saying the key is blocked. Looking at other threads, it seems like I have been sold not a genuine copy. Here is a copy of my MGADIAG results:

The product ID -068- Indicates a not for resale MSDN account. If you are not the account holder and you purchased this in a retail box, the box and it's contents are counterfeit. Demand an immediate refund from the seller

Thanks for the reply.
I have just noticed something else with this 'retail' box. It's the US Version (GLC - 00182). I'm in the UK. Would this have a bearing on activation?
Many thanks.

No – US copies are valid worldwide. Does the label on it state ‘Made in the USA’? If so, it’s a counterfeit, as legit USA copies are actually made in Puerto Rico.Read the links that George posted.

Thank you all.
I have looked through the links. My version does say Made in Puerto Rico however I have come to the conclusion it is a fake, I can peel off the hologram on the disk... Luckily I'm within my 45 days on ebay so I will contact them and hopefully get a re-imbursement.
Thanks again for all of your help.
