Digitally Delivered Goods
Digital goods are often reproduced at little to no cost to the seller. On eBay, this creates the potential for Feedback Manipulation. To preserve the integrity of the Feedback system, all goods that can be digitally downloaded or transferred electronically are prohibited on eBay.com.au.
Listings of digitally delivered items that breach any of these requirements are in breach of this policy.
Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Limits on account privileges
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
Referral to law enforcement
Referral to the rights owner, with disclosure of personal contact information
Sellers may not list any item that is electronically delivered. Examples of items that sellers are not permitted to list on eBay:
An MP3 file
Recipes in electronic format
