eBay has announced that you can no longer sell your digital
products from their website. This means that a large
variety of digital items like e-books, software, audio and
video will not be provided through eBay in digital form.
You cannot send the download links of digital goods to your
customers. This ban has been enforced by eBay due to a
number of reasons. For instance there were quality issues
relating to the e-books and various other digital products.
Other reasons included security and user dissatisfaction,
in case the products were not of a certain quality. eBay
simply tried to maintain the highest level of quality on
their website. The e-books sellers and authors were quiet
alarmed by the new restrictions implemented by e-Bay, but
these new policies also have a good side to them.
Many authors and programmers spent plenty of time and
effort in creating their e-books or computer applications.
However, large numbers of people started using eBay to get
these e-books at cheap prices. They could purchase them for
as low as 99 cents. By changing its rules, eBay has
increased the value of all the e-books sold on their
website. In simple words, the excess amounts of books that
have saturated the boards are suddenly valuable. Now people
will purchase these e-books at an adequate price. This is
great news since people will be able to read the original
contents of the author by paying him the due share.
eBay's restrictions have provided new opportunity for media
duplication and distribution services. With ban on digital
product sales, people are left with only one alternative.
They can sell their digital goods in the form of physical
CD's that can be purchased from the e-Bay website. Writing
these CDs can be a simple and easy task. You just need a
CD/DVD writer for this purpose. There are many CD burning
softwares available to assist you in this task. Using this
software, you just have to drag and drop the folder
containing your e-book to the location you want it to be
written. This location is normally your CD or DVD. Then
click the burn or write command, to write the CD. Usually,
the media duplication and distribution services are there
to assist you in writing, packaging and sending these
products to your customers all at a very low cost.
eBay has started the trend by restricting the sales of
digital goods. Other auction sites will follow in eBay's
footsteps. This means that all those low quality products
will not be available on the auction sites, putting an end
to customer frustration. This will eliminate baiting. The
sellers will provide top quality goods and restrict
themselves from selling any products that are not up to the
required standards. eBay's digital product restriction has
caused panic for most of the sellers but it has also
provided opportunities to many creative sellers, who have
adapted to the change in the marketplace by selling CD
versions of their products.
