eBay Classified Ad System was brought up to the spotlight when eBay decided that downloadable products can only be sold through eBay Classified Ad System. With this eBay section growing in importance, the need for a guide - for maximizing profits in eBay Classified Ad System - was growing.

A classified ad is nothing more than the normal eBay type listing with two important differences, you do not do any direct selling on the eBay site and you must list your selling price.

The eBay Classified Ad System

eBay has a classified ad network as part of their total eBay site. This feature has been around for a while but has recently been thrown into the spotlight due to eBay’s new policy on digital downloadable products.

What Is A Downloadable Product?

A downloadable product is any product that can be delivered to your customer in some digital fashion and does not have to be physically delivered to your the purchasing customer.

What Exactly Is An eBay Classified Ad?

Here is what eBay officially says about a classified ad: Use Classified Ads to list items, services, or properties for sale in order to generate multiple leads. This format does not enable buyers and sellers to transact online through eBay nor is eBay Feedback available.

How To Use Classified Ads To Make Money

There are two main purposes to a Classified Ad. The first is to sell something. You do that using this system which has been approved by eBay:
(This system is explained FULLY in later chapters for you)

1. TRAFFIC TO CLASSIFED AD
2. OPTIN BOX on CLASSIFIED AD
3. BUYER HAS TO CONTACT YOU TO ORDER
4. SEND SALESPAGE LINK TO BUYER
5. THEY BUY THRU PAYPAL DD-button
6. THEY GET EMAIL FROM DD SOFTWARE SAYING PRODUCT ON WAY

The second is to build a list. Each one requires different components to be part of your ad.

If you want your ad to sell an item directly then the easiest way to do that is to place an email address directly in the ad, eBay conveniently allow this.
