Which is good then when:
Using the cheapest possible method for posting (Bulgarian Posts)
for a letter (the smallest thing) it costs you so much money for sending abroad, what about
huge/weight items like physical goods? With the huge benefit that the other's party is receiving the item
in most of the times in 2 WEEKS (14 days), usually around the 14th day;
Using DHL/FedEx that costs even more money, but the other side will receive it in the next business day or the next 2 or so. The price for the delivery costs x5-x10-x20 times more than the actual item costs (no matter what is the item, physical good). Really crap
Having dropshippers abroad is a way, but you need to have a store/garage where to store them. A 100% verified & trusted friend that sends the items and asks for margit as well (when he/she already should have a better job in DE, of course). Useless way (too much hassle + eating the profits).
So the only possible options are:
Domestic sales
(when our country is #1 in piracy and#1 in virus-infected PCs - in the European Union). Only rich guys with a brain buy software, no one else. Useless, almost impossible to get into the market, when no one is buying games, software, movies, music. 1 from 10k people is nothing;
Domestic sales again for physical goods too many opened physical & digital stores for crap things from China and Taiwan, even from UK (lol) for higher prices, because they're pretended to be with a "better West quality". But again when you live into the
poorest country (again into the European Union) people do not buy too much physical things, when they don't have money to
eat (for some people that's funny, for other's it's strange, but if you Google for statistics, you'll see the real side of the things, we're not AT/DE/UK/ES/IT/FR/DK/RU
considered as rich countries).
That's why the only possible way is the digital way mobile apps, mobile things, digital goods, all that is being "digital". No one from Europe, America or Australia will wait 5+, 10+, 14 DAYS to be delivered his good (except those people who're ordering from sites like DHgate the crap Chine things, yeah, they can wait 1+ month, np). But Germans are Germans.

How can I safely sell digital goods from Bulgaria and make a profit? |
No, it isn't. Read the first post again :). It's about the tracking numbers - how other "Top rated sellers" receive this status when there is a
rule (which rule don't know when exactly is added - in the end of 2012 or maybe before that) asking to provide tracking numbers for 90+ of the transactions in order to receive the badge. Otherwide - no badge, no cut costs from FVF. Or they're just providing a random number, or the cd-key/code there. Because there're sellers from Hong Kong, no offices in DE. Sending physical letter will costs money for HK sellers +
2-3-4+ weeks (in this time the buyer can asks for his money back, claim/dispute/chargeback) to be received into the German's buyer home address (when the key be delivered in 5-10 minutes after the sale, almost instantly).
Again, when I way selling in the
end of 2011, around Sept/Oct I've received the Top rated badge,
without providing to any of the buyers any kind of tracking, NO tracking nowhere: eB, PP or directly to their e-mail,
nowhere! And in the end - I've again received this badge automatically, without doing nothing, only selling, receiving positive feedbacks, DSRs and so. That's why I need to know when
exactly this rule for 90% transactions into the past 3 months was being added into the eB page.
Yeah, I'll restart selling again (currently no store, badge, seller level, etc.), but will see in the future after 3-4 months if I again automatically will receive this badge or won't receive it. If no, then this means that I need to provide random tracking numbers or just the key/code into this form, in order to receive the badge after 3 months (total: over 6+ months). And that's why I'm asking in this thread, if it's
possible to CUT these 6 months into just 3 if I know when exactly the "90%+ transactions in the past 3 months" rule have been added into the eB site :).
