Thread: Ebay

understand alot of IMer started with ebay auction bidding and slowly setup a e-store at ebay... but with digital products, seem like alot of IMer had move toward clickbank product

Let learn from oneself to improve our internet marketing stragetic and maybe joint-venture and parntership with one another

imo ebay shops are not worth it, the costs involved are too much.

tbh, unless you have a lot of items/product to sell your not going to get anywhere...

And since eBay has effectively ended the sale of digital products, including on ebay stores, no since trying.

Digital products may now be sold on ebay only via their classified ad system.

To Be honest ebay now sucks

expensive, too much Rules,, steal people money through paypal

Indeed, eBay does suck for most businesses now. I wonder why someone hasn't started up a true competitor yet. Without competition, eBay can do anything they want basically, and get away with it.

I haven't had much time or patience for eBay. I have tried some drop shippers, but they usually don't work the way you want them to. eBay definitely needs some type of competitior, as betteb said.

For the real goods, not digital, eBay is still great marketplace.
But overall I agree, too high fees and they are getting higher and higher, too much problem.
I also wish to see better competitors for all of them - ebay, paypal and skype!!!

Digital products are now only allowed to be sold in the classifieds section.

ok.... compare to digital products which pay more commission and hassle free delivery, I will still tryout to market digital products compared to physical products and also since there are quite alot of affialte programs available as well

I have no problem with ebay, they perform a service, and get paid for it, I mostly deal on tangible goods, so it works for me.

Yes there is amazon, ubid, etc, but you really cant beat the exposure ebay can give your products, if you dont like the fees, adjust your prices accordingly, I usually make what i want for the product in the shipping, so whatever the bid goes to, is just icing on the cake, given I mostly work with items that I only need 3 or 4 dollars for, stuff that I get for free or super cheap, then I only need to make a few dollars on.

A lot of people still associate digital products with scams, and many are, so I understand ebay's stand on that!

I do not sell digital products, unless you want to call web hosting a digital product, so it does not affect me much!

i agree, fees on ebay is too high, and then you have to look at the fees paypal take from you as well, thats like, a double cut..rather make your own website and sell products there
