Say goodbye to buying digital items off eBay
eBay finally has decided to ban the auctioning of anything that is digital. This means, anything such as eBooks, MP3 files, content in PDF format, recipes, etc., will not be sold on eBay anymore. Also, anything that can be shipped to a customer by email or a download link will also be not tolerated. In case you still want to sell digital items, you will have to sell it by using classified ads, which would cost about 9.95 a month on their site.
One of the main reasons leading eBay to follow through with such an action was that anything digital could basically be reproduced as many times as the person wants. Thus, the person could keep on re-selling the digital item and keep making more money. Then, it would mess up listings and the feedback system. What is your opinion on eBay getting rid of digital goods?
