    Can You Still Sell Ebooks On Ebay?
    As they have banned digital delivery it would seem impossible to do so wouldn't it or are they breaking the rules?

    So not recommended.

    Yes you can, but in different ways.

    One method that you can use is by turning it into physical products. (Save the ebooks in a disc and send it to your customers via mail instead of digital delivery.)

    If you have a website, you can also advertise your ebooks via eBay classified ads.

    Well In the UK everything has to be sold as a physical product so if you wanted to sell an ebook you would have to burn it to a CD and post it to them.

    Not possible coz ebay changed the rules to probithed sales of ebook due to several reason mainly due to paypal rules and ownership of ebook.

    dynashox is correct.

    You can still sell downloads on ebay but you must offer the tangible version to ship.

    Check this guy out - http://bit.ly/1AsCmu

    You'll need a service like ours (http://www.DigitalContentCenter.com) for auto delivery to the buyer.

    You can then pull reports and see that the file was successfully downloaded and send the buyer a follow up email to see if they still want the CD.

    Yes it is more work now with ebay's new rules, but it is still possible, just get creative!
