Its one thing if the seller is providing some service by providing the 
software on a CD/DVD or if they have added something to the package (ie. 
additional plug-ins/scripts). If all the seller is doing is charging for the 
URL where the software can be downloaded for free, the sellers ethics and/or 
morals are definitely questionable. If nothing more than a URL was given for 
the money, you should consider leaving negative feedback with a notice like 
"Selling software available free at <url>". If the seller doesn't like that, 
you could agree to mutually withdraw if you are reimbursed the original 
purchase price.
