View Article  eBay Offering More Support for Digitally Delivered Goods
eBay will be making changes to selling procedures for digitally delivered goods (such as songs, eBooks, etc.).  If you sell eBooks, you will especially want to read this announcement carefully from eBay's Product Marketing Team:

Hi, I'm Mara Holian with eBay's Product Marketing team. As more buyers and sellers have become interested in digitally delivered goods (such as songs, eBooks, etc.), we've recognized that we need to improve the way these items are bought and sold on eBay. In the next few days we're going to make a few changes to our site to better accommodate these types of items.

If you aren't familiar with the term, a digital item is a product sold in the form of a computer file that a buyer can access online or have delivered electronically via email. For example, the product could be an MP3 file of an original song that you wrote and recorded, or an original fitness video that you made. It's important to note that these are both examples of items you created yourself. Strict copyright laws prohibit selling digital items for content that you didn't create yourself or for which you are not a copyright owner. You can learn more about what is and is not allowed by reading our Frequently Asked Questions.
http://pages.ebay.com/choosingformats/digitalitems/faqs/?ssPageName=CMDV:AB

Here are the highlights of the site changes we're making to support digital items:

"List as a Digital Item" option in the Sell Your Item form - Selecting this option when you start listing lets us know you're selling a digital item, so you won't have to fill out sections that don't apply (such as "Shipping"). You'll also see a "Digital Item Delivery" field in SYI, where you can provide delivery information to your buyers (such as how to access the file once they've completed their purchase).

Search filter for digital items in certain categories - Buyers in categories that are more likely to feature digital items (such as Movies and Books) will be able to filter their results to see just the digital items that meet their search criteria.

Digital Information Box on the item page - On listings for digital items, a new information area will help buyers identify digital items, confirm the file type and learn about any system requirements they will need.

For tips on buying or selling digital items, please visit our Digital Delivered Goods information page [http://pages.ebay.com/choosingformats/digitalitems/?ssPageName=CMDV:AB] and our Frequently Asked Questions [http://pages.ebay.com/choosingformats/digitalitems/faqs/?ssPageName=CMDV:AB]. We'll also be holding a workshop on January 9th, where you can learn more about buying and selling digital items, as well as about the copyright laws that govern them. Stay tuned for more details about the workshop in the coming weeks.

Sincerely,

Mara Holian
eBay Product Marketing
