Yesterday when I started my work day at 8am, I looked first to my emails; usually I read 5-6 and delete the rest of them. One title caught my attention "Digital Items Banned On eBay", I looked to find the author... it was John Thornhill, the king of Digital Products, a person I know, trust, learn from. I decide to read it! This one wasn't a spam for sure!
I discovered that starting Mar. 31 the Digital Items will be banned on eBay. OK! But why such a short notice?
My opinion is: eBay is doing now what Google did in June 2006. They try to clean up the junk, and stop the abuse and manipulation of feedbacks. But, as in 2006, a lot of good people a suffering as well.
Let's see what exactly they a banning:
- e-Books
- Digital audio recordings: interviews, seminars
- Digital photos
- Digital Videos
- Affiliate Marketing Services: squeeze pages, pre-sale pages, landing pages
- Websites Design Services
- Domain Names Services
- Graphic Design Services
- Specific eBay items as: Digital Sewing and Knitting Patterns, Digital Recipes etc
- And any other service delivered instantly electronically, it is a long list, it really is!
Lets see why people like to sell on eBay digital products even though some of them are selling at a really peculiar price, example same e-Books a selling from $0.01 to $0.99, must be some good reason to sell at such a low price:
- People love instant delivery, you pay now, 2 minutes later you download the product, and it is yours.
- Some publications, e-Books in particular, a stuffed with affiliate links and the seller is not making money with that particular product but in time he is selling a lot of profitable products via affiliate links, his visibility is higher, his opt-in list is growing.
- Any product which is listed on eBay is taking advantage of the eBay traffic, eBay's huge customer base.
- In some instances, you take advantage of eBay traffic and in addition you advertise you business as back-end and make a lot of money in the process. A perfect example are classify ads.
