The only difference is that you have to be a student with a valid student ID to qualify for the discounted price. I believe that teachers/professors etc are also eligible for this price with current faculty ID. As for eBay, I guess students could easily purchase software and sell it on eBay for a profit. Although I believe there are probably some regulations against doing so, I am not sure how students could be prevented from doing this.
