Your right :-)
If I was willing to jump through all the hoops Evil-Bay would recognize and allow me to sell downloads for some manufacturers manuals for which we have hard copy licenses and releases (HP and Tektronix are the big dogs) . The problem arises for companies that are no longer in business ( A lot!) eBay has no way ( or desire) to wade through all of that ..had this conversation with them years ago. And offering downloads for some and not for others just confuses the customer base and I would end up spending hours answering emails about why if I can provide a download for company A why cant I supply? a download for company B. It is easier in the long run to just quietly steer folks to to our web site where they can order a download to begin with.

Well, perhaps Ebay didn't agree that you hold any copyright to those
Manuals Dave. ;-)
Just pulling your chain! Please let's not get into that again.
Looks like the Ebay policy is quite restrictive in the land of the
free, but it is possible to sell some non-physical goods:
Memberships aren't mentioned specifically, but no plaintiff, no judge,
as they say....
And if any donor filed an "item not received" claim he should be
banned for life anyway!

I don think you can sell a "membership" on Ebay. As I recall the rules state
that it must be a physical item that ships via UPS, USPS or FEDEX as an
example. I know they wont let me sell "downloads" ..gotta be a CD ... as an
example. Even at $1 eBay collects a listing fee and commission fee for every
sale plus the PayPal tax so you can end up sending 20% or more of your
"sales" into the bonus plans for the senior pirates at Ebay Corporate
