Collecting emails on Ebay?

6 replies
Is it possible to offer a small ebook in pdf format on Ebay as the frontend and collect emails on the backend? I have heard people talking about driving traffic on Ebay and I wonder if there is any good information out there.

    I would hazard a guess that it's against eBay's TOS...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    Yeah it's possible. And it's also possible to get your account banned the very next day.

    Unless of course... you offer it as a "classified ad" on ebay.

    although it seems you are using your own product to retrieve emails, but it is definitely on the end user agreement. Users many not collect, use, or sell personal information obtained through ebay stores.

    I never looked but it do sound like something that would be there

    Yes it is against the TOS of ebay so you should take yourselves away from this task.

      It might be a little grey hat but you could advertise your product with a BONUS offer.

      In the description detail how to collect the bonus without purchase.

        That's not grey. It will get their account closed.
