eBay Turns Down Digital Goods - Sell Them Here Instead!

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

eBay LogoYes, eBay has decided that you can no longer sell your digital goods directly through their site. Seems like they’re worried that sellers might sell thousands of copies of the same (near-worthless) thing in order to boost their feedback rankings.

It’s a real shame for people who were trying to sell their digital art, photography, or writing on eBay, though. You can still post on eBay using a ‘Classified Ad’, but that’s pretty much the same as posting on Craigslist - you’re still responsible for making the actual sale and working out the transaction.

What’s worse, you have to sell your stuff under “Information Products.” Take a look at this page from Information Products - we don’t think music, photos, writing, and other art belongs with ‘Make Money Quick’ schemes.

CybaSumo was designed from the ground up so you can sell your digital goods, including:

  • Music (MP3s)
  • Photos (JPGs and other formats)
  • Writing (PDFs and text)
  • Digital artwork (JPGs and other formats)
  • Video (multiple movie formats)

We’re also working on features that will let you sell tangible products like crafts and collectibles.

No classified ads here - CybaSumo gives you a real store and we handle all the transactions and downloads.

We do the heavy lifting so you can concentrate on your art.
