Hoping For Some Clarity From eBay
I’ve been working on getting set up to start selling my ebooks on CDs and deciding what kinds of packages I can put together so there’s some good value. I just can’t see that it makes sense for someone to pay $.93 in postage to get just one ebook, although I do see there are listings for that. Of course, for higher priced products, it’s okay. But most of my sales were books in the $.99 to $1.99 category. I’ll try all sorts of combinations, of course. Since I’m producing the CDs myself, I can see what sells. Can you tell this is lots of thinking out loud?
There’s a great blog post I want to share with you today. It’s from Mike Enos, a platinum power seller, and he’s written an open letter to eBay about their policy changes, reminding them that it was the mom and pop sellers who really got eBay established. The link is below. Also, if you’re interested in doing anything on eBay, you really should subscribe to his newsletter.

eBay is holding a workshop in just a little while that is supposed to be about clarifying their new policies, and I’ll report back on what they have to say. Their initial notice that digitally delivered products were going to be discontinued suggested that we could use eBay ads to replace our listings. Problem is, no one, including eBay, seems to have a clue about their policies on those ads. Some sellers were able to successfully get their ads up and running, but many others had their ads denied or were told they were doing something against policies that were undefined! What a mess!
If you’ve tried to post a comment and were unsuccessful, please forgive me. With all this eBay stuff, I can’t get my head areound trying to figure out where I mucked up the programming. If you’d like to contact me, please email me at admin @ judimehrens.com (sorry about the spaces there, but I don’t need the spammer messages!).
I’m back to figuring out my stuff. I’ll let you know if eBay makes things any clearer. Be sure to read the Enos post.
Stay well.
