Explain, why. If it is still "as I mentioned below", what
makes this illegal from MS's point of view that a buyer
must beware?

It is not a question of legality. It may make MS angry or even violate their
policy to purchase a "grey market" copy of their S/W, but it's not "illegal".
I think what Chris is saying is that you may not get what you think you're
going to get from an eBay Seller. It is easy to re-shrink wrap an already
activated copy of, eg. XP Pro, which makes it essentially useless or it may be
an OEM copy which won't work on your machine.
