Ebay has banned the sale of digital products from April the 1st 2008. That includes e-books and anything else that isn't a physical product. The only way to sell these items now is through the classifieds section and it has to be shipped as a physical product. eBay has done this because people have been using digital products to get positive feedback and abusing the system.

as well as that people have been selling absolute junk as e-books and Ebay has decided to put a stop to it.

what can you do?

1.You can give up like the other 99% cease selling digital products completely and have a huge hole in your pocket.

2/you can try and sell your e-books or other digital products through Classified ads. on other online sites.

3. You can take advantage of the competition being wiped out overnight and raise the price of your products, as long as you have a good product worth buying, people will buy it. you need to lift the price anyway to cover the price of the classified ads. you will also need to physically ship the products. Do not be tempted to offer customers an alternative of digital download. It's against the revised terms of Service. All it will take is one buyer to complain, and you have lost your account.

If the thought of shipping the items physically discourages you consider this. You can get your product burnt onto CD and shipped by companies who will do all the work for you. There are quite a few out there. You can even automate the whole process. You can even be on a holiday or away and have the whole process completely automated. There are several methods of doing this. To be more precise there are several companies who will automate the whole process for you.

keep in mind that if you ship as a physical product there is less danger of the buyer trying to do chargeback.this is all too common with digital products. In fact buyers were previously doing a chargeback even if they liked the e-books. they just did not want to pay.

now you can go out there and make even more money on ebay.

Hi guys, just wanted to share this real quick. I saw this on eBay. Maybe there is a solution. But I rather save my $16, so maybe I won't sell on ebay anymore.

the ad referenced to is a joke. where does it actually say what it is selling for $16. it doesnt. the last few lines say it all. it is charging $16 dollars for the same information Im giving away FREE of chrage on my site. lets hope someone buys it and complains to eBay. In fact Im gonna do that myself. this is a blatant example of why Ebay inroduced the new rules.
