Can I list Digital Items On eBay, Mainly Workshop Manuals

[crowsman53]

Hi was wondering if I am allowed to list Digital Download Items on eBay? Australia, UK or Usa. I have seen them but not sure which site they were listed in. I remember a few years ago eBay AU change some policies about listing Digital Items. Can anyone enlighting me Please.

Thank You

You cannot list digital delivery items on ebay.au but you can list the manuals and send then on a disc.

Hi Lyndal Thanks for your reply that is What I thought..So therefore 151924317346 is not legal?

Thank You

Lyndal - I'm not sure that's correct as you could list them under the "Lots More/Information Downloads" section of the Aussie site.

People are listing digital copies there.

The items are sent via email once paid for.

The postage section lists a 500gr satchel.

The blurb says digital download

eBay does not allow the sale of digital goods on its website.

How do some people get away with Breaking eBay's Rules?

1. Purchase this listing and supply the following information in the 'notes to seller' section at checkout:  ~  FIRST NAME

2. Once your order is received I will customise the artwork with your personalised details.

3. The file will be emailed to you for download.  Print it as many times as you like, but it is NOT for re-sale.

Digital goods - http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/downloadable.html

However as stated in why eBay has this policy, it may get over looked by eBay as it doesn't breach the reasons for this policy.

Afterall, rules are not set in stone and should be on a case by case approach.

Maybe because no-one has reported it?

Ebay can't spot everything.

I've reported heaps of stuff - by phone and listing -  and it's ignored anyway

And, no, they shouldn't get away with it if it's not allowed

Sellers may not list any item that is electronically delivered. Examples of items that sellers are not permitted to list on eBay:

• An MP3 file

• An eBook

• Wallpaper for a computer

• Recipes in electronic format

I am now confused eBay Make the Policies...How can eBay over look this as it doesn't breach the reasons for this policy. The policy says NO DIGITAL Downloads but this is a digital download as stated above.. The File Will Be Emailed To You

It's over looked because it doesn't get reported,I used to purchase plenty of digital stuff until it got reported and the seller got closed down.
