Automatic Ebay
Product Delivery
Written by

Some people don't claim to be experts.
That's okay, just don't gain advice from them.
I do claim to be an expert, proof being my eBay
store and feedback. Therefore, you can read my advice with
confidence, and gain the powerful insights into selling digital
products on eBay.
(EXPERT = a person with special knowledge or ability who performs
skillfully.)
So you want to sell ebooks and/or digital
products on eBay and you want your customers to have instant access
and for this to be done automatically?
Up until recently automatic delivery has never
been so easy! Now you can sell 100's of digital products every
day and never have to send an email.
Where is my eBay digital delivery?
Some customers may ask you where is my product,
or that they have checked their email and there is no delivery.
If you are asked this question then you can refer them to the
following article:
where is my ebay digital delivery?
As per eBay's new policy on digital products
the download page is displayed after your purchase by eBay.
To find this page:
1. Log in to the eBay account under which the
item was purchased.
2. Go to "My eBay."
3. View the "Items I've Won."
4. You will find the view digital delivery
hyperlink next to the item you purchased. You may have to
click the arrow to see the drop down menu to access the hyperlink.
Below is a link with a picture...

Please note, you can also find the digital
download hyperlink by going back to the ad of the item you
purchased.
Digital delivery seller requirements
Here are some of the requirements to sell
digital items.
- Use fixed price or store inventory (you
can't sell digital items by auction).
- Offer only immediate PayPal payment.
- You must use a PayPal Verified Premier
or Verified Business account. (From experience I find the
most trusted sellers are verified)
- No pornographic material.
- Seller must be the intellectual
property owner, or an authorised reseller.
- Sellers item must not include any
software/scripts that harm the buyers computer or privacy.

Step one
Please note you can only sell digital items as
fixed price, or store item (no auctions allowed). After
selecting your category you will then arrive at the "Title &
Description" page.
If you don't see the "List as a digital file or
information" then you may have used the wrong category. For
example, you can't sell digital products in the motor vehicle
category. Also, you could try listing the item at ebay.com
(sometimes makes a difference).
Please note, you may have to start a new
listing to enable the digital delivery option.
Step two
After clicking the "List as a
digital file or information" link, type some information about the
product for sale. For example, is it mac compatible? Windows
XP SP2 compatible? pdf, .exe, or zip files? Will the file be
downloaded or emailed?
Make sure you click the legal agreement box and
that you are an authorised seller.
Step three
After you have setup the "Title & Description",
the "Pictures & Details" you now will have to setup the "Payment &
Delivery".
This is the page where you specify how the
buyer will receive the item. The buyer will only be shown this
after payment has been made.
Here you can give the buyer details, for
example:
"You can download your purchase from
here...."
"Please message me (my email
address)
and let me know which email address you would
like me to send your purchase to ..."
"If you have any questions or problems,
please email me here..."
Personally I prefer to supply people with a
download page, or a link to download the file. That makes the
whole process more automatic, and your customer receives the product
immediately after purchase.
The future of Digital Downloads
The information product market is growing at an
amazing rate. Already a billion dollar per year global
industry, there is more than enough customers to go around for all
of us. I believe eBay is the best place to get started selling
digital products because of the massive website traffic and the ease
of listing.
To get started selling digital products, I
recommend you first buy an ebook package with resell rights.
Then sell each ebook individually, making sure you don't copy other
members ads. Once you are confident in the process, start
writing your own ebooks.
"How do I go about writing my own ebooks?" You
may ask. Well, that's a whole other article ;-)
