EBay Take Down My E-book Listing!

If you are getting started selling e-Books on eBay you may find that your e-Book listing is getting taken down. This can be extremely frustrating especially when it seems there is no reason for your e-Book to be taken down.

There are a few common reasons why eBay would take down your listing, make sure you are not making any of these common mistakes.

1.) Selling copyright material

this one is a no brainier. Make sure any e-Book you sell you has the resell rights to or you have created it yourself. Or go to www.ebook-creation-toolkit.com Also, some e-Book the authors do not allow to be sold on auction sites like eBay.

2.) Not making it clear that you have the rights to sell the e-Book.

Make sure that you write on your listing that you are the resell rights holder to the e-Book or that you have created it yourself. Just by including a small note like this: “Note to eBay: I am the creator and resell rights holder to this eBay.” can save you a lot of frustration.

3.) Wrong category

EBay will take down your e-Book listing if you do not have your e-Book listed in the Everything Else> Informational Products Category. This is a mistake I see a lot of new e-Book sellers make.

4.) Keyword Title Violations

using keyword for your title that are not related to your e-Book will eventually get taken down by eBay. You can visit www.ebook-secret-revealed.com For example if you are selling a fitness e-Book it is not OK to use the name of a well know diet plan.

5.) Misleading listing titles

if you are selling an e-Book on fitness and you use the title “lose 100 pounds in one week!” That is obviously a misleading title and eBay will eventually take your listing down.

If your e-Book is taken down and you have followed all my guidelines check with eBay BEFORE prelisting your item. By avoiding these simple, but overlooked mistakes you can enjoy selling your e-Books on eBay without any problems.
