| Im prey sure this is not allowed. its against either freebiejeebies, or ebays t&c, or both. Keep thinking of ideas though, you'll come up with something. Last edited by wesley1234; 20-01-11 at 07:37 PM.. |

  | it's not against anyones rules... exceem do not approve of Ebay, but this is a legitimate way to do it... it was when Ebay was abused that caused the problems

 | Putting to the side whether or not it's against ebay/exceem/freebie network rules for one minute, the point is that you would be selling info that is open to the public anyway, unless of course you have a fantastic way of getting referrals. I'd imagine most info you would put on any disk would be info you picked up on places like exceem.

| Yes but one off the most serched thing on ebay is game console so say if they searched for example xbox 360 slim and look at lowest price first ( because they on ebay for a reason to find products cheaper then retail stores) and £ 2 will be near the top of the list so i would say that this would get quite a lot of interest and people who do buy it will be the right target audience so high chance they will go green. |

| yes but the info you would be selling is widely available. It's like selling an ebook called "Where to get good deals on loadsa stuff" and the info inside is just "buy it from Amazon.co.uk"... what's the point in people buying it when they can just google it?!! You'd just be scamming them of £2!

| Go for it, if you can put together an informative guide, get paid for it and maybe get some referrals into the bargain then why not.

You are selling something to people to explain how to get something for free, however the fact that you are selling this information already makes the whole process not free. Therefore contradicting what you are telling them right at the get go | |

| yea i will make it download for free when i get my website but with ebay you get done if you just make a listing and dont sell anything. Also im going to list it as mac book air for just £10 or something like that because obviously most offers cost money |
