a bit of confusion for some people when it came to selling digital items on eBay, however eBay is now embracing the concept of selling digital goods.
Let's talk now about what eBay has created to help us sell digital products.
They explain everything fully here - http://pages.ebay.com/choosingformats/digitalitems/faqs/?ssPageName=CM
This is a massive step forward.
It answers most of the questions sellers had about selling digital goods, removes most of the obstacles that were previously there, and indeed goes much further than most of had hoped.
You can now, for example, establish a download page where customers are automatically sent after paying for a digital item through PayPal. This could be quite a difficult task before, but now it's automatic.
Also, if you have a web address where you host your digital files for sale, eBay can provide your
buyers (after they pay) with direct access to the files they have purchased. All you do is to "Provide Web address for download" from the pull-down menu when creating your auction.
This is all intimately linked to PayPal, as digital item buyers and sellers want to be able to have the product delivered automatically and immediately after payment. You don't have to do this, you can still deliver by email if you wish.
It seems to imply that digital goods will be allowed in many categories now, instead of being restricted to the one "information" category that they have hitherto required digital item sellers to use. Although not clearly spelled out, the new policy does make reference to "multiple categories" being used for digital goods. Keep an eye out for clarification on that matter.
All of this is really good news.
If you sell digital items, or want to, the doors of opportunity have been opened wide by eBay. I hope you can take advantage of it. I know I will!
