How do I place a classified ad on eBay (for a digital book)?
The webpages all say to click on SELL, then LIST, then describe the item, and then choose the format as a classified ad. But I've gone round and round and round with this and I never see classified ad as a choice. What am I missing?
P.S. I am choosing EVERYTHING ELSE, INFORMATION PRODUCTS (and then am forced to choose "how to", or "other" or "wholesale") - but anyway, NONE of those choices result in a condition where I can select CLASSIFIED AD. This is quite frustrating.
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

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:

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.
