Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to refer me to or to sell me on Ebay marketing for a digital product?

I simply want to host my stuff on there but I find it a bit too complicated

Thanks

    The only way that you can now sell digital products are:

    1) Deliver a CD via mail.

    2) Sell a download product via eBay Classifieds.

      Some folks are giving the person the opportunity after the sale to do a download of the product to get it right away and then shipping the CD out so they have a "hard" copy of the document - but I don't believe that they are advertising that fact in the ads. That would probably be against eBay policy if they are not actively scanning for certain words to block auctions.

      Which is something they sometimes do.

      For instance, western union payments are not allowed so if your ad has the phrase western union in it, it will not list. So that means no western union memorabilia, etc. unless you misspell the phrase to get past the filter. But I think it is category specific as I do see WU memorabilia but I had to do some misspellings to sell some old WU training films a while back.

      Just one more quirk in the ever changing eBay landscape.

        You do have to put products on a cd.

        Classified ads? I think they suck, let me tell you why! The more you sell through ebay, not a classified ad the better placement you will get. You will not be able to compete with placements using classified ads. I have several accounts, and the ones with powerseller type revenue are getting great placements. They place auctions that are making them money up front on the first page.
        They recently changed the featured plus, because of bad sellers taking advantage of good placement.
        pm me if you need help getting your listings up, it's not that complicated.

    Yeah, classified ads is more viable. if you go for cd them there are lot of manual works to consider.
