eBay has a change of their policy which no more digital item to be listed on any eBay site worldwide. This consider a huge bomb for digital content seller, like:

* eBooks

All items above are no longer allowed in any eBay auction!

However, digital items are allow on the classified section.

Some of the experienced eBay-er has suggest to make a digital item a physical version, eg. Burn your ebook into a CD-ROM and delivers it.

This is a shocking especially for seller of any type of affected digital items, which some has full-time working on that, now, probably will need to seek an alternative.
