It's been months now and that really rips my ( | ) ok? i don't know if I need to pay some one for a web space or not? wtf is a webspace? I have registered 4 domain names and they don't help at all with no web site. I have payed through the nose on eBay and still havent made a above grond profit. I need a way to be able to accept payement for the e-books contained within the Secrets of the 1cent auction and deliver them. Ok I can admitt I'm an e-tard but I inspire to be more.

    1 cent items are usually eBooks, wallpapers, Gmail invitation and other electronically delivered stuff.

    Here is the secret of 1 cent eBay auctions: "To build up a high positive feedback score within short period of time with minimum money investment".

    This practice is stricktly prohibited by eBay and they will shut down accounts of users who do this. And if you bought say 5 items like these (don't know the exact number) and received feedback for them and then eBay shut down the accoutns of users from whom you bought the items, you account gets inactivated automatically. So, please, be careful, it is not a good idea to buy 1 cent items.

    Where on eBay does it say your account gets inactivated automatically. ?
    How do you know this?
    Thanks for your help

    Buying stuff just for feedback is why you need to carefully check out the actual feedback of sellers you buy from......
    A lot of times sellers who do this are scammers

    I guess eBay doesn't like it cause they don't make much money from it.
    Sometimes sellers charge a higher P&P rate to compensate, and don't want to see their profits eaten away by eBay's Final Valuation Fee.

    I think the real goal of these 1 cent auctions is not to make money, or build up feedback, but instead to build up a list. The auctions are loss leaders. Once the sellers get these people on their lists, they can market more expensive products to them over and over again without.
