Info-Profits Talk - What's the Deal?

It looks to me like eBay is trying to make it so there's no way to sell a digital product, unless you are the original copyright holder.

The CD policy, counterdicts itself

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/recordable.html

First, it says you can't sell a CD-R unless it's blank, than it goes on to give an example of a band recording a CD on CD-R and that being OK to sell, by the band.

The download policy seems even more strict

But, if that's the policy, virtually every product in the Everything Else > Information Products category is in violation.

I've emailed them, we'll see what they say.

Hi Justin

I was just wondering if you'd had any news on this?

I've been in touch with and asked A2ZCDs.com (http://www.A2ZCDs.com) whether they'd had any problems selling their CD's on eBay, and the owner said they hadn't.

They do however offer a drop-shipping arrangement so I don't know if eBay takes that into consideration and looks at that differently to "resell rights".
