Question about selling eBooks on eBay

    So, I've been on eBay sonce '07 and only ever bought and sold small things here and there. But for the last year or so, I've wanted to start making some real money on eBay and tries pretty much everything. I always heard about people selling eBooks and never really tried it until now. So now I have listed 5 eBooks each on 30 day lsitings and for fixed prices. I am delivering them on disc because of the change of eBay's digital information rules. Do you or anyone you know sell eBooks and does it work anymore? And do you have any tips?

    Thanks in advance.

    Here is my list: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/insanemadman1/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

    P.S. I have a lot of watchers on some of the listings but still no buyers, is this common?

    I only took a very quick look, but you might want to consider getting an e-cover designed so you can use it for the product image. You know, make it obvious that it's a book... There are lots of outlets for quality ebooks online - you might also want to consider Print-On-Demand - have you investigated any of this?

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the reply Bryan, The ecovers is actually something I am sorting out right now, but the print on demand isn't actually something I had thought of.
    Thanks for the ideas.

    Cheers, Jon

    Have you tried selling your ebooks at the Kindle store. The market there is really good!
