The important thing when something like this happens is, DON'T PANIC! There will be several new solutions arise when people put their thinking caps on, and 3 months from now you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about. Go and read my latest post. -Frank Haywood Okay, I've just made another post that will help.

How much money will they lose with listing fees, plus subscriptions like Selling Manager. I'm off to cancel my Selling Manager now. I guess they'll clean up some digital products, but I think many digital product sellers will just stop doing ebay and that could affect ebays bottom line. The classified ads will be worth testing. If it works - great. If not, screw ebay, I will be gone.

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:36:13 +0000 http://www.frankhaywood.com/ebay-gives-green-light-to-marketers/#comment-10278 I've been getting excited by the prospect of selling digitally-downloaded products (website templates, mainly) via Ebay, I've followed the guides to e-selling on the E-sources website (who recommended SmartDD, btw) and all this is now giving me pause. Does this mean that NO downloadable items at all will be able to be sold on Ebay? A complete waste of my time and money if that is the case. I've paid for hosting, I've carefully created my own goods for download, and now this. Grr.

Count me in, even if I have to buy the upgrade with real cash. :) Hey, if I guessed right do I get an extra 15 minutes to purchase it before everyone else?

The funny thing is I closed my eBay shop earlier on before reading your blog. I have used the classified for a while and it works if you keep bumping the ads. Waiting for the "cliffhanger" you mentioned, All the best Mike Thanks for the headsup Frank.

I haven't listed anything for months now (maybe a year). I just didn't want to get into the 99­¢ "feedback buying arena". But I'm considering putting up some ads (you can advertise more than one item on a page). I figured I'd get a few subscribers that way and eventually make some sales.
