Selling e-books

triasic — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 18:25:51 GMT

I have been writing e-books for quite a long time now. Once-upon-a-time, I sold them on Ebay on physical CD disks that I had to package and post, because it is against their many rules to sell downloads!

Eventually, I discovered a site on which I could put my e-books which is automatic. When the download is paid for by Paypal, the purchaser gets it immediately. This is proving extremely profitable and pleasurable!

What amazes me is that Ebay does not want to cash in on allowing download sales. I would love to be able to sell them here as well, but they are strictly forbidden, so Ebay lose out!

I know they will just ignore this, but just felt like mentioning it!

The odd thing is that it is allowed on eBay.com. but not on eBay.co.uk

Unsure why you have resurrected an 11 year old thread but the below applies for anyone considering selling download to print at home items.

Electronically delivered items policy

So you need to list in this category on ebay uk.
