Digital delivery items are NOT permitted (with some exceptions, none of which would apply)

No, I don't think that is allowed. You can sell a commercially made vhs tape, dvd, or ,blu ray, but not a download.

Not a good plan for a long and successful selling career here.  Find something you can sell and actually ship out yourself.

 

Good Luck.

Are these videos that you've made yourself or that you own distribution rights to? Copying and selling copyrighted media (i.e. movies, music, books, etc.) is a federal crime.

If you are not the copyright owner of the film, you are legally not allowed to sell a download of the film, no matter what the "anonymous files sharing site" might be -- which also sounds to be an illegal enterprise.

why? 
Does eBay punish people here for their intentions?

If they are trying to scam, yes, they do.

Sounds like you're getting advice you don't want to hear... go ahead, sell your download pirated 'anonymous sharing files site' videos.  See how long it takes before ebay turns your account into toast.

"why?

The short answer is "Yes."

 

Selling pirated movies is a violation of Federal law -- eBay wants no part in assisting you to commit felonies, as eBay could also be sued for collaboration in the commission of a crime.

Why do you choose to misunderstand what is being told to you? You do the same thing in your other thread... at any rate, what you're doing is a criminal act and people have gone to jail for it or were heavily fined. Nothing else matters but it's AGAINST THE LAW. @dakbat-61

Click on the link the slippinjimmy posted. It will take you directly to the eBay policy that explains that your hoped for sale is not permitted.
