How do people sell ebooks on ebay?

Posted Wednesday, June 3, 2009 by admin


I mean judging from the price and stuff to actually send a c.d. and pay off all the fees you make like a 10 cent profit
it really **** because we can’t email the ebooks no more!

So how do you make a profit from ebay on ebooks?

    First , it isn’t a CD, it is a down load, from a secure website.

    You have to pay, by using Pay Pal. Once payment notification has been sent to the e-book business, they send the customer an e-mail with the e-book as an attachment.

    No paper, no cd’s, no mailing costs , it is all electronic transactions. Obviously, the publisher of the e-book has a one time cost, to produce the material in the e-book, , and a small montlhy fee to Pay Pal for their services, but over all it is a VERY low cost way to do business.

    Prices are ajustable to suit the demand for the book. Most are able to make a good side line income. Some are making a lot more, based on the knowledge in the book. If the author has unique information, it will cost you more.

    you are right.
    unless it is a 1st edition of a nobel prize such as garcía marquez and the likes…my friend made 3000 dlls. with a book of the sort…

    Many people work with small margin, but with high volume. That makes your total income.
    Some are trying to send an electronic downloadable version instead of CD, but eBay usually close those auctions (and accounts) quickly.

    It is actually quite simple.
    1. You need a digital product that you are allowed to re-sell
    2. upload the file to Kunaki
    3. List the item as a cd on eBay
    4. When auction is done and paid for, send the customer info to Kunaki
    5. Kunaki will ship a cd to the customer with your file

    This is for MASS production. You can no longer sell digital items via a link. ALL ebooks software must be physical.

    The shipping costs you post on ebay should be enough to cover your shipping eBay listing fees.
