Selling digital posters with instant download

[charliee9818]

Hello.

Just looking for some general advice here as I find the eBay guides on what you can/can't sell somewhat vague...

I'm looking to sell digital posters in either PDF, PNG or JPG format which the buyer will be able to download after purchasing. 

Does anyone have direct experience with doing this or know whether it's actually allowed? Any guidance or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Here is the eBay Help Page about electronically delivered items.

Take note that it is, in most cases, not allowed, sellers must ship a physical item.

Do you own the copyrights to these posters?   Here's the policy on digitally delivered goods.  They are restricted/prohibited on eEbay.  You must be approved and most are not.  Here's a link that can be helpful:

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/electronically-delivered-items-policy...

Bottom line...if you don't want your account to be suspended I wouldn't do it.  And just because others are, it still doesn't make it right.   They just haven't been caught...yet.  

Don't do it.

Aside from whether eBay allows it, you need to think this out further.

Why would I pay you $20 to $50 to buy a copy when I can simply click "save image as" and copy it directly to my own computer, size it to my liking  then print it out from there. Or I can download it for free from Google.

This is directly from your listing.
