Can I sell my articles and product reviews on Amazon and eBay via bidding process?

    I wanted to know from all the articles writers and sellers, that is there any provision on Amazon.com and eBay.com of selling pre-written quality articles and product reviews using the bidding process.
    If so then how?
    As this could help us fetch better buyers and better prices for our content..?

    Please throw some light..

    Thanks

    I've never known of anything that would lead me to advise against, but then too, it's a question I've never thought to ask. That is definitely a good avenue for selling content though, and perhaps very lucrative. I'm very interested to find out if anyone knows more about this subject...

    Take a look at this page of eBay's policies:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/downloadable.html

    "We consider digitally delivered goods to be information or content that people download from a website or receive by email. You can advertise most digital delivered items on eBay as long as you meet all of these requirements:

    * You need to list your items using only the Classified Ad format.
    * You need to list your items only in the Everything Else > Information Products category."

    I think you could offer your writing services, but not articles (like PLR article packs).

    Your problem is not so much the mechanics of selling, i.e. getting an auction up and running and delivering something to your customer, it's much more about getting people to buy their written content in this way. I don't think very many people are looking on either ebay or amazon for content to purchase and there is, there's unlikely to be enough people to get a heated auction going that will increase your selling price. As a result, you may be able to sell on these sites, but are unlikely to actually do so.
    Sites like constant-content offer a better chance, but don't give you the auction style bidding that it sounds like you're looking for to drive prices up.

    That's something very interesting. Although if I were the bidder I would think twice before bidding since I wouldn't have seen your work and If you plan to show your work on the ad that you post a lot of people are going to steal. So, it's a tricky situation, you'll have to think about how you are going to handle it.
