***Policy Update: Digital Downloadable Goods to be banned on eBay India***

16 April, 2008 | 03:42 PM IST


Hello everyone,

I’m Vidmay, Manager Trust & Safety and Buyer Engagement.

I would like to announce an update to the sale and distribution of digitally downloadable goods policy on eBay India.

Digital 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 18th April, 2008 00:00 IST, digitally delivered goods and items which are transferred electronically will no longer be permitted on eBay. Some examples of digital items are:

  • Electronic books or ebooks
  • Digital pictures
  • Other electronic documents

Domain names and tickets which may be transferred electronically are excluded and may be traded on eBay.

This change is applicable for all listings uploaded on or after 18th April, 2008 00:00 IST.

Sincerely,
Vidmay Naini
Manager, Trust & Safety and Buyer Engagement

Regards,
The eBay Team
