i used to sell on ebay -- until they banned it, i sold digital downloads of images

i've also sold CD collections of my own stock images, but people won't pay more than a few $, so the handling costs just werent worth it

ebay has become a much more hostile place for small sellers in general; i'm down to about 10% of what i was listing a year ago

Sounds like another case of a company starting up to help the small-time individual (or small-time contributor in the microstock world), but big money and corporate greed have now taken over so you have to be a big company (or big contributor) to play the game.

I've seen what is obvious stock images on eBay being sold in many different guises by individuals but I've haven't seem anything like that on Amazon before, is this a new thing.

Is it possible to sell a stock picture on ebay, and after payment to send a picture via email to the customer?
I see only DVDs delivery via post office...

no - ebay banned all digital products a coupla years ago because of some problems with a few sellers - a sledgehammer approach

it would be a great outlet for microstock, but still out of reach
