That's out of my expertise.
With amazon it's more how your account is created.

There's just lots of minefield and they can do what they want, when they want.
So just ve vigilant, disciplined and be aware of what I just said.

Third party sellers can't sell downloadable digital content on Amazon Marketplace.

amazon do not allow digital and additionally they do not like sellers not having quantities of popular products. people pay more on amazon but there are many restrictions

ebay is more diversified , people pay less than on amazon but ebay allow to sell almost anything with a very limited number of exceptions comparing to amazon

try Etsy!!

[murdered_by_ebay]

yes , etsy is a paradise for counterfeits , there is so much copyright violation so I wonder sometimes if they actually protect these sellers and want them to go on while random suspensions of newbies are need to wipe their ass clean in case of investigations

thanks all etsy is paid .... can someone suggest other marketplaces for these kind of products ...

Easy suspensions based on competitor reporting as well it seems

[agent006140]

does not matter now,Etsy just reported earnings,sales is down ,making money by making sellers pay for outside search and buying back shares to make itself look good.

Nice clarification

[Papyrusman]

To answer:
Standard/Individual Account: Ideal for sellers who plan to sell fewer than 40 items per month. There’s no monthly subscription fee, but a $0.99 fee is charged per item sold. Access to certain seller tools and features is limited.

Professional Account: Designed for higher volume sellers. This account comes with a monthly subscription fee (usually around $39.99), but no per-item selling fees. Sellers have access to advanced selling tools, reports, customizable shipping rates, and eligibility for top placement on product detail pages.

If you are worried about the $39.99 for pro, then you should not be selling on Amazon.

One approach - true

[rsot]

original post was by member who wanted to sell digital items - so just refocusing discussion hah

[Papyrusman]

I guess in my blurb, I wasn't clear, I didn't mean that was the only fee. Wether you are pro or standard seller account, there are many more fees. I probably lose 20-30% of my sale price to Amazon. Standard has an Additional .99 cents per item sold.

Why do people always have to run to China to find things to sell?
There are plenty of non Chinese items good to sell.

Not everyone runs to China as you might think...

after you sell a product when you get paid by amazon ?
