| I was selling these last year as eBooks but now I see eBay has dumped them. Is there anyone else who was doing this and would like to share what they are doing now? |

| To be honest, the problem with ebooks (and I'm not suggesting yours were in this category as I don't know what you were selling) is that a large proportion of them are breaches of other people's copyright. Even many of those which go on about including distribution rights have actually pinched other people's work without permission. It is a growing problem and now that copyright holders are beginning to take legal action against sites that allow goods which breach their copyright (not just ebooks) it is no surprise that ebay are banning them. Also sales of ebooks for pennies or cents has been a well-known way of artificially boosting good feedback.
Sites likes Tazbar banned them long ago and I think you will find that most of the better sites won't let them be listed. You're never going to make much selling them anyway! |

| digital products are not dead yet. You can still sell them. But do make sure you have rights to that product.
The ebay ban on download actually is helping the genuine sellers. Products on CD / DVD have higher perceived value.
Think of something you are expert about. And write a course or book about it. Put them on CD for sale.
There are free services that does the burning, packing and posting for you too. Just keep looking. :-) |

| one way to get around selling digital products, I guess it
to put your software, ebooks etc on a cd/dvd then ship it to
your customers. there are people doing this already but I think it still works!
but may be there is some overhead on that, like printing out stickers
