    i think you have to buy ebooks with reseller rights, then try in ebay, you can buy a script for starting ebook selling website.

    if you are good in writing an ebook then why dont you do it by yourself.
    I really dont like reseller idea. Just take some time and do it by yourself.

    You have to make it look profession and different. There are too many site with the large red text and the 20 feet of scrolling. I just turn away from sites with large red text with stuff like "FIND OUT HOW TO MAKE 830k in 3 MONTHS!!!!!".

    too common.

    You can no longer sell ebooks on eBay. So I finding a script would be the best bet. I would also recommend you join a PLR memberships, you will get lost of good ebooks with MRR.

    I agree with Chris. And PLR sites can be found pretty cheap!

    Be careful what you buy on ebay, there are a lot of scammers that will sell you ebooks with resell right that they dont actually own the rights to, i got stung recently when the owner of a ebook reported my site to the hosting company for infringing on their copyright as the ebook i was selling had never been sold with resell rights.

    Get a paypal account and learn how to make a paypal button.

    You don't need any scripts, just that and basic html will take care of the technical aspect enough to get you set up.

    The rest is marketing, product development, selling ect. That's where the real work comes in.

    I don't suggest going w/ resell rights, get PLR, and just edit the content a bit if it's shared with a few people. Then all you have to do is design a salesletter and sales web page (or outsource this) and make sure all your payment links are up.

    Build an attractive affiliate page, and pay for initial traffic to just get your site noticed and slowly it should be able to earn on it's own w/ affs promoting for you.

    one of the easiest way is to purchase plr ebook. Usually they have written sales letter. You just upload it and start selling.
