eBay banning digital download products

Hi Everybody

No doubt you have probably heard the news that eBay is banning digital down load products.

 eBay will no longer be allowing digital download of goods of any type as from 31st March 2008.

The reason, they say, is to prevent people offering digital download products with intention to manipulate feedback points.

It sometimes happened that people would buy, or sell, hundreds of digital items, literally for pennies or cents apiece, and grow feedback of hundreds or even thousands of points within days. That high positive feedback score was used by a tiny few to fool other buyers into considering them trustworthy individuals, whereupon they’d use all this credibility to sell high price items on eBay with no intention of ever fulfilling orders received before their crimes were discovered and they were finally expelled from eBay.

Notice, however, that digital items can still be promoted using eBay Classified Ads or processed on CD or other physical option.

This is not a problem of any kind, not for the serious entrepreneur who will find many ways to turn another man’s problem to his advantage.

So keep your chin up.
