Ebay Sellers Reacts To Digital Dowloadable Goods in Ads Format

Ebay announced that starting March 31, 2008, digital downloadable goods (ex. ebooks, ecards, music animation templates) must be posted in the Ads Format with a charge of $9.95 for each template in a 30-day listing. David Burke, Ebay’s Director of Feedback Policy says “Digital goods are often reproduced at little to no cost to the seller. On eBay, this creates the potential for Feedback Manipulation.” On ebay’s part, the new policy will prevent feedback manipulation since ad listings do not go through ebay’s feedback. But ebay sellers are not satisfied with that explanation and thinks that the policy cannot answer the feedback manipulation problem in ebay. The new policy will only give more financial burden because of the the 30-day Ad fixed price charge.

This blog is related to Auction Selling on Ebay that there are lots of items to be sold at ebay and one has to have good knowledge on these products and must have demand in the market. I suggest it is better for freshers also.

Try Use.com They got hundreds of templates. Is all free and you can post up to a 100 full size images with no size or bandwidth restriction.

Works pretty good if you want to do things on the fly without knowing any HTML. Best thing is that you can save and reuse templates later on and their templates are both eBay and craigslist compatible.

Worked for me and my images are not limited to what eBay offers plus I don't have to pay extra. Let me know what you think.
