eBay has decided to ban digitally delivered goods listed by members on eBay.com.au due to the high risk they pose in undermining eBay’s Feedback System.
Digitally delivered goods are often reproduced at little to no cost to the seller. On eBay, this creates the potential for feedback manipulation (both real and perceived). To preserve the integrity of the Feedback System, effective 8 April 2008 all goods that can be digitally downloaded or transferred electronically will be banned on eBay.com.au.
A similar change has been made on eBay.com, with the exception that digitally delivered goods can be listed using the Classified Ads format. Due to technical restrictions, the listing of digitally delivered goods using the Classified Ads format on eBay.com.au is not possible at this time. eBay will look into introducing a Classified Ads format for digitally delivered goods on eBay.com.au and regrets any inconvenience that sellers may experience in the interim.
