Rules Can We Sell Squidoo Lenses on DP?

    I'm wondering if we can make, and then sell Squidoo lenses on DP. No "account creation" service would be involved in this. Further, it would not be a lens creation "service" - but offering single pre-existing lenses. According to the Squidoo TOS, it's fine to sell your lenses. In fact, they make it easy. You can simply transfer the specific lens to the new owner's existing account. The Squidoo system sends an email to their email address, and they can accept or decline the transfer. The process is very similar to a domain transfer. I don't see anything in the DP rules that would prohibit this, but thought I would ask ahead of time. If so, would I list them in the "sites" section (if it's over $5)?

    Thanks.

    A site would include a domain, so it definitely wouldn't be a site.

    Keeping in mind, this would not be a custom creation service, but of individual pre-existing Squidoo lenses -- are any of these categories appropriate?; Services, Content, Content Creation. I did find a few in these sections, but they didn't seem "fitting" for an already existing lens. I'm also aware, because we see something being sold here, it doesn't necessarily indicate that it's allowed, that's why I'm checking first. If it is, which category do you feel would be the best?

    I suppose it would go under Content, since that's all it is really. A site is content plus a domain.
