    It's the same story as with similar ads on eBay. Iffy...

    They're offering volume license keys that would usually only be available to business customers. They'll work, but could be deactivated at any time as they're breaking the terms of the license.
    Reactivation (say if you reload your machine) could be an issue too as there's a limit on the keys themselves and how much they can be used.

    From here:
    Office 2019 Professional Plus
    Office 2019 Professional Plus for Windows is only available to volume licence customers. The single licence price (no software assurance) is US$559.

    It has the Office 2019 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and Skype for Business.

    Buyer beware basically. If it's too cheap to be true....

    They may never stop working. They may stop working tomorrow, they may not work at all by the time you input them.

    Nope, as I say they could work fine for ages. Could be deactivated tomorrow. Or you could find that you can't reactivate it the next time you have to reinstall Windows or Office itself.

    You won't have any tech support either of course. These licenses are not intended for consumer use. This is someone with access to their company's volume license portal selling keys on the side. If their employer or MSFT find out (usually come renewal time when the licenses are added up), the whole lot will likely be invalidated.
