		<description>I think it is time to see that eBay is not the only marketing resource on the internet!

What happened to lead generation through creating your own regular ezine and promoting your ebooks and affiliate links through testimonials, ads and endorsements within yours and others&#039; ezines?

This is how the gurus made their online fortunes long before anyone thought of selling ebooks on eBay!

So get with it and remember you are building a real business: marketing never entails utilising only one source of revenue or lead generation.

Create a sales website for your ebook, advertise on Adwords or ezine ads, and SEO, and you can sell online!

Who needs eBay?!!!</description>

		<description>E-books are dead . . . 

A bold Statement I know, but true............... Well as far as Ebay are concerned.

If your interested in discovering how you can produce Multimedia Information Products that make you money......... For FREE....  From someone who has done just that for over 26 years, you need to get this FREE VIDEO COURSE today.

Now it&#039;s a shame that eBay has come to this decision, but like many people have already stated.  Look for the positives and not dwell too much on the negatives, as this will surely drag you down into a deep feeling of despair and confusion.

Move on, and look for other more lucrative ways that you can make money online.  There are a number of discussions on hundreds if not thousands of blogs and websites looking for ways around this current situation.  Some I feel will look towards trying to manipulate and deceive eBay and continue to try and sell their e-book and digital products on their site.

Over the last few days, I have listened to audio discussions as well as reading debates on this subject, by very successful e-book marketers and the one thing that is common amongst all of them is they are running scared.  Very very scared of the possibilities of losing their current income and the success they have built up over the years.

Now many of these successful e-book marketers have come to a number of conclusions, and one avenue is to convert their current business activities of digital e-books/software into a physical item, and as a successful producer of physical multimedia information products (I had to laugh when I heard an audio discussion describing Multimedia Information Products as something NEW !, or atleast the term Multimedia Information Products )

But recently realised, that a more indepth discussion or help package would be better.</description>

		<description>Socrates, is it really necessary to send a CD?  If we use the Classified Ad format on eBay, why can&#039;t we just send the digital item?  Also, you mentioned that a Classified Ad can contain links and an opt-in form.  Where is this rule specified on eBay?  I found very little information about Classified Ads on eBay.</description>

		<description>Ian,

We don&#039;t see this as a good thing, and we don&#039;t like the constant eBay changes either.

We are merely saying, there&#039;s nothing we can do about it, and complaining won&#039;t fix the problem.

Instead we are offering possible solutions to turn this negative situation into a positive one.

...And depending on the action you take, you can turn this in your favor big time, while most are complaining.

Regards,
Stelios</description>

		<description>Hi, everyone.

I think ebay was way too strict anyway so this is no big surprise to me at all. If you use myDD to its full potential then you could still get the same results off the web using keywords and google adwords. My mentors are Socrates and Dave Guindon, i have learnt a bomb load from these guys and it will take me months of constant planning to just use a fraction of it, once it gets rolling though there will be no way to stop it.

Good Luck everyone.

		<description>I really don&#039;t understand the eBay classified Ads. Anyone care to give a simple step by step setup and how this thing runs? Cost? And how many items you can list? 

Personally I think this sucks. I recently bought an eBay store and I planned to sell some digital products and see how it went. With an upsell and well the works. But it wasn&#039;t to scam or get a feedback rating. Cause I already got over 90 in the feedback area. 

I was just tired of mailing out items and wanted to try out this whole digital thing. Where a person can buy, and I really had no reason to be on the computer more then once a day to check how things went.

Guess for people, and I&#039;ve marked a few sellers to study what they were doing. Will all but go out of business for some people. 

It seems eBay is really ramping up things to drive people away. I noticed the sneaky thing they did by cutting costs on some services, yet they raised costs in other areas. So in the end you really didn&#039;t save much, if anything. 

Can anyone thing of other good Auction Sites out there? 

I&#039;m thinking switch over to them and sell ebooks and digital products. Plus you can charage more for them, if the market there is not used to it. 

Overall though, I think this&#039;ll just require new strategies. But eBay is not going to win favor by doing things like this. 

Competition would be a good thing and force fee prices down, if some other auction site could really compete.</description>
