Plugins are one of the four parts of the WordPress system. Most WordPress self-hosted websites and blogs will have at least a few. There are free plugins and premium (you pay for them) plugins available from many sources. You really should consider the source.

Can You Resell Premium Plugins?

While it is legitimate in most cases to resell premium plugins, you are best served to purchase them directly from the author or original source, or from a well-known authorized reseller like Theme Forest or Gethub, and others. Purchasing this way most often comes with extras and/or premium service. Buying from an unauthorized reseller seldom include those things and may include things you don't expect, and don't want.
