Author Topic: Sell vectors (or photos) collection on a DVD (Read 7482 times)

It's a good idea to create DVDs with different collections of vector (or pics) to sell on ebay??

I can not sell my designs directly on ebay in digital format, so burn them on DVD is the only way.

anyone have any experience or any comment about this ??

Never done it. I'd be worried about them ending up being sold or given away on some illicit site somewhere.

Well, this is also a problem when you sell on microstock...

15 years ago, I sold cds and dvd on ebay that way, but it was never very profitable, even with 100+ images on the disc; competition kept the price below $10 for the most part.

early on, when ebay allowed digital downloads it was reasonable to sell that way, but they disallowed that many years ago

Maybe after 15 years it is possible to sell more expensive

Was that a joke?

The most recent experience that someone shared with us is 15 years ago...

You have recent experience selling pictures in DVD / CD on ebay? Can you give us more specific information?

yes, they disallowed it -- just like that. Had my own share of bad experiences with it back in the day -- and certainly haven't forgotten that eBay sucks ever since! Reason enough to look for another selling platform (not only indie images, but as in REPLACING eBay altogether with item search and peer-to-peer auction link sharing. It can be done if enough of us get in on it!

I suggest looking at Gumroad to sell digital and physical collections of images.
