He can tell you all about the problems with ebooks, (and at length apparently!) As to "outside the US Jurisdiction" there is now nowhere outside of US Jurisdiction. Since 9/11 the FBI have been given a mandate by the US government to protect US citizens from crime where-ever they live in the world. Take a look at:http://www.fbi.gov/contact/legat/legat.htm

Frank, you have a more devious mind than I have. I bet you're right. Most people would like the instant gratification so if offered a wait of a week for the cd, or the download now, I'm sure a large percentage would go for it. Nobody likes to wait, do they? I hadn't thought of that little wrinkle. Ah well, I'd sooner sleep well at night than be devious and make a few extra dollars. :)

Now *that* makes much more sense. The whole "feedback manipulation" thing didn't sound right to me as there are so many ways of manipulating feedback, ebooks are just one of them. If you have the source of that, that would be really cool to know. Even just where the rumour was repeated (other than here) would be good enough. ;-) As for legislation to make the web sites legally responsible, well good luck to them with that. I *swear* some people just don't get the nature of the internet. Quite how they're going to impose that law on sites hosted on servers outside US jurisdiction is anyones guess. Especially if they're in China for instance. Or Singapore. <b>Amin</b>: I wonder if the CDs actually do get shipped? It would be easy enough to give a choice to provide the goods as an instant download which I think most people would go for. And if not, just refund them with the promise of a like for like feedback. I can't imagine many people risking their feedback score unnecessarily. Certainly not for 1 cent... -Frank

I guess if you're list building and have a good conversion rate on a decent priced item it might still be worth doing that way. The problem is that ebay's move doesn't seem to have got rid of all the sellers who were spoiling things for everyone else. Some of them may prove very hard to shift! I'm looking forward to trying the new features in SmartDD and I applaud you for taking your time to get it 'just right' before releasing it.

Good advice as usual. As to Ebay, I have been hearing stories that the real reason that they have banned ebooks is that the FBI are warning Americans that many exe file based ebooks, especially bulk buys, now carry viruses that will turn their computers into "Zombies". Law enforcement agencies are lobbying for legislation that will make the websites delivering these ebooks, legally responsible. Ebay's response, ban ebooks from the auctions but let people sell them from classified ads, as long as the sellers distribute from their own websites. They still get the fees but are no longer responsible for distributing the viruses. Nicely played but morally dubious move, huh?
