i am very new here, and i still confused about the rules here
should i upload my resell right with my file if i want to sell product here

thanks]]> andrykesuma FAQ - Frequently asked questions Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:57:05 -0600 http://www.tradebit.com/forum/5/499/8128/_subject_#msg-8128 http://www.tradebit.com/forum/5/499/8128/_subject_#msg-8128
you only need the IPN if you want to sell on your own domain. We support both:

you upload here and sell in our catalog and we provide you with a button
to take away, where you may exchange the receiver email with your own!

in order to make that work, you can pick up the IPN in the member section, when you change to the POWER ADMIN mode after you logged in:

log in and click on the upper right "easy admin" text then go to SALES -> Paypal config

does that help?

first: the IPN is the Instant Payment Notification from paypal - it is a link you enter in your paypal account, so tradebit knows about a sale that came from another domain (ebay in this case)

This means, you have to enter your IPN url that we provide in the power admin section under SALES.... when someone pays you, paypal sends that notification to that URL. It must be the paypal account you have in your profile on tradebit.

second: The name of the auction must be 100% the name you use on tradebit for the product title. When paypal tells tradebit: "hey, we got money for file YOUR TITLE OF THE AUCTION for the RECIEVEREMAIL", tradebit does 2 things...

we look into the files belonging to RECIEVEREMAIL and fetch the file with that YOUR TITLE OF THE AUCTION title... if we find one, it is mailed automatically to your buyer...

does that help?

I've been selling my book from my ebay store since 2002, and I got tired of having to attach files to an email and send an email every time somebody buys one. Having to send an email means the customer doesn't get the item until the next time I'm on the computer, so it isn't instantaneous like an automated download. So what I want to do sell an automated download. That's why I came to tradebit in the first place, but apparently nobody actually buys anything from here, so I want to try to use ebay's customer base to sell things and tradebit's automated download capability to deliver the product. Which apparently other people are doing, but I have no clue how to do it.]]> magicalrealistartist FAQ - Frequently asked questions Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:30:56 -0500 http://www.tradebit.com/forum/5/544/7233/_subject_#msg-7233 http://www.tradebit.com/forum/5/544/7233/_subject_#msg-7233 I am a new user on tradebit.

The best way is the: "same title technique"

- That means you register a file with us.
- You start an eBay auction with EXCATLY the same title (we compare the title for 100% match)
- You configure the IPN value of your paypal email on file with us and eBay (that must match, too)

That should do the trick... I have not tested it in a while and you can email me, when you are trying it... puzzler(at)tradebit.com

ok?

Yes, listen....I have a book for sale on this site, (I assume you got it from the place I originally uploaded it too,) and I notice that YOUR handle is right beside it in a little box saying "Chat with me". This would lead someone to think that YOU'RE the author, am I correct? Could you do something about this?

There are more copyrights, licenses than you can shake a stick at. I'm proficient with Books, Music, and other Hard literary things.

Two specific things that are legal are public domain and creative common license.

Public Domain is different in every country it seems. In USA, if you have a hard copy of a publication dated 1922 or earlier, it is in public domain even if the copyright has been renewed, transferred, or otherwise being published under the current publisher. Germany is different, UK is different... Basically look for a copyright on the scanned title page of a file you are viewing. If it's 1922 or before, you can reprint it and sell it. That's PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Creative commons license means that you can share, modify, etc, etc, SELL, etc. There are two types: NON-COMMERCIAL will plainly state it on the document, most of which are .pdf formats. NC (Non-Commercial) cannot be resold. All creative commons MUST HAVE the original copyrights and credits on the file. Do not modify it.

Project Gutenberg has a strange license, if you remove all instances of the license (included before and after the ebook) you may resell or modify it. Some of the later licenses require a royalty payment.

Generally if you have old records, you can't just record them and sell them. In the USA there are NO phonorecords in the public domain. However, you can REARRANGE and perform copyrighted songs if you file a LETTER OF INTENT to the copyright holder. You then send them USD$.09 for each one you sell. CDBaby, a partner of this site, has a wonderful article on this.

Generally licensing is determined by the copyrightholder. Two rules of thumb: Just because it LOOKS old, doesn't mean it is, and If you DON'T KNOW about the licensing, DON'T MESS WITH IT.
