How not to Sell ebooks on Ebay

Over the New Year I spent over £15 on ebay and bought over
25,000 ebooks. Surprised? Don’t be. We did it on purpose. Most
of these ebook packages are a complete waste of space and I mean
that with conviction – they will sit on your hard drive, never
be read, and just eat your hard drive space. Why do we say this?

Well, take a look through the ebay auctions and you will see
hundreds of ebooks ranging from just 50p each to several pounds.
Then you will get collections of e books advertised at £6 for
10,000 ebooks for example. Too good to be true you ask? The
answer is yes, it is. In essence they are the biggest pile of
poop you are ever likely to set eyes on.

Out of 25,000 ebooks we ended up with a handful that we were
even prepared to give away. That’s it, you heard right – give
away. We would be embarrassed to charge you anything for most of
them. Can you believe we downloaded 450MB of junk?

It took two of us a whole two days to go through all the items.
One package of ebooks being sold consisted of hundreds of pages
of text documents with each text document being claimed as an
ebook. Sorry, but a page is not a book. A long text document is
also not a book. On top of that it was an all American
collection of bits and pieces, of which most, had little or no
relevance to the UK at all. Not convinced? Find out the hard way
then and go and buy lots of ebooks. It’s no skin off our nose -
been there, done that – got the T Shirt.

So, what did we do with these thousands of ebooks that we
whittled down to a few decent packages and useful information?
We stuck them all on a website and give most of them away for
free. Not all of them. Some insist on minimum prices or have
resell rights that do not allow free distribution. These tend of
course to be the better and more genuine articles.

One other thing. If you want hundreds of thousands of ebooks on
marketing, ezines and advice on how to become a millionaire then
go ahead and order collective ebook packages. You might have
read them all by the end of the year and then wondered why all
these people are so full of ideas and ways to make you rich when
in reality wouldn’t they want to keep their ideas secret and
just get on with earning money and becoming millionaires? Call
me selfish but I am darned if I would want to tell you the
golden formula….

And what else? Within all those packages you will find books
that don’t open or don’t work. The links within them don’t work.
They were written years ago and the millionaire that wrote it
has forgotten to pay his or her website fees. They made the
ebook so that it could only be read online and then their site
has gone. Well that was successful wasn’t it. Call me cynical,
sarcastic, whatever.

Finally, there are some decent guys and girls out there. The odd
ebook we collected here and there was pretty good. Some people
are selling genuine products that are worth what you pay for
them. Unfortunately, most are not. Anyway, sorry to blow the
gaff on it all by placing this advert on ebay. Now how can I get
back some of the money I spent on that rubbish, but at the same
time give you a good deal too? Well, you can pay me £2.50 by
PayPal. I will send you the link of the website and you can
browse the freebies and then look back on ebay and see how much
you have saved. By the way, if you want 25,000 + packages of
junk that can be arranged. Just email me. I wouldn’t be doing
you any favours.

You are paying for information: You will be sent the details of
a website where many of the ebooks you see on here are being
given away free or for a low price. All you have to do is
download them.

What do you mean you can’t afford £2.50? Oh well, have them for
free then..
