Thread: My friend made $70 in 30 minutes?

On Friday I was talking to my friend in art class about selling eBooks on DP and rewording them and stuff and so I come to school today and he tells me he made $70 on the weekend. He quickly wrote a eBook on making money and sold $5 each on eBay. I am 90% sure he is telling the truth but not positive. And I thought eBay wasn't letting eBooks be sold there? Anyways, I want to hear your guys suggestions and thoughts on this as I want to try this out.

Thanks,
Mac

Last thing I heard was that you can't sell an ebook at ebay.
And even so, after all the fees he must of been left with a few cents.

He is a MAJOR blackhat dude, so if it possible, he will do it. He had the FBI visit him once actually, and I AM NOT JOKING.

Just checked and it seems that ebooks are indeed allowed

Last time I checked you couldn't digitally deliver goods but you can sell e-books & send on a CD if you really want to or talk with the buyer after & most will just tell you to send via e-mail.

Do you mean by sending it in physical form on a CD, using say kunaki.com?

Edit - Geetfaux, you beat me to it.

No, doesn't say anything about it having to be on a cd

On ebay, you can not sell any "digital" product via email. All products now must be physical. I used to sell unlock codes and now they banned a lot of users, so I have to mail them a physical paper with the code on it. I guess it's their only way to get proof of something being delivered or not. eBook business on ebay was HUGE back in the day.

You can only sell digital products on ebay via their classified section, which pretty much sucks. It's getting harder and harder to sell ebooks, etc. online, unless you have an account with Clickbank to sell your product.

You can sell ebooks via ebay auctions, but only if you sell them as a physical product (ie, on a CD)

Thanks, that clears this up
