My Seller Rating is 4.8 and I am truly one of the good sellers who is wrongly being punished by eBay. Because my guide is $12.97, it is not used for feedback manipulation. See my store at http://www.OurWorkAtHomeParadise.com I am going to go the CD route, and offer my buyers the option of getting a download link from me after the sale. One big thing that nobody has mentioned is that if you use a classified ad, not only do you miss out on feedback, you also do not get credit for a sale on eBay. For someone like me who wants to keep my Power Seller status, that means none of my eBook sales will go towards the minimum average monthly sales requirement! Ouch. As I mentioned, I am going to give the CD route a shot, but I am glad that I have been working on my Clickbank, Google Adsense, and direct sales marketing in an effort to get my eggs out of a single basket, so to speak. Ebay is becoming less and less friendly to Internet Marketing - and maybe it should be that way. Thanks for your advice, I look forward to reading the comments of others.

What about all the ebook stores? How will this affect their listings? Can they leave stuff in store format or do they have to switch?

Is eBay trying to run everyone off. This is just another reason to find another venue. I think its a safe assumption, More people will be leaving eBay for smaller sites. If people have a strong customer base, they will follow them wherever they go. I am trying to leave eBay all together, but its something that has to be done gradually, like a bad drug. The important thing is to notify your previous customers where you have moved your store to. I don't want to have to pay for a store, I don't want to have to pay for listings that don't result in a sale. I list on both eBay and www.hopeiwin.com, at hopeiwin there are no listing fees, no cost to have a store, and if my item doesn't sell, I don't pay a dime.
