Approval for Digital Product Submission
Ebay tell me this
Sellers need to be eBay approved to list electronically delivered items outside of the Everything Else > Information Products category. -- To request approval, sellers must agree to our terms and conditions and submit a request.
The support team tells me...
That approval is an automated process and I do not have to follow the email information provided by Ebay.
It was explained that once you start listing your items as mentioned above the system will detect and approve you as a digitally delivered goods seller once you have a positive selling history.(they will not include what is considered a positive selling history)

Mentor2 years ago@kaydan321 The start of a positive selling history would be NOT listing digital items with shipping like your active listing that violates eBay policy. You have no feedback received as a seller. eBay usually only approves sellers for digital items if they are the legal maker of the item, not a reseller.
If this is the only type of items you have to sell then it's not a good business model for eBay.
The only way to deliver to email per eBay policy is if you list as a Classified Listing which costs $9.95. There are not any other selling fees when your item sells. The listing fee is NOT refundable and paid even if the digital item doesn't sell.
Electronically delivered items such as digital items that you have the legal right to sell can only be listed in the classified section Everything else> information products.
Here's the policy: https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/electronically-delivered-items-policy?id=4289&st=
If you wish to create a classified listing you will need to switch to the Advanced Listing Tool that is located in Seller Hub.
Opt in to Seller Hub here: https://www.ebay.com/sh/ovw Start the listing here:
List>

Select Classified from the drop down menu and then there will not be a shipping method required.
If you do not list this way the buyer can say they didn't receive digital item since you won't have tracking and you will have to issue a refund. You also will be violating eBay policy if you don't list digital items this way and eBay may ban your account.
