The classified section is not part of the main auction section. You are right, it won't prevent the sale of OOo on ebay, but less people will come across it. That said, OOo can still be sold on disk via ebay. > I've wondered lately about keeping an ad on ebay for an OOo cd - not > to sell it particularly (although useful to some perhaps), but rather > to say explicitly that it can be obtained for nothing from the > website. I tried doing just that recently, but had trouble configuring the 'digital download' part.

I wonder how much it would cost to do what is stated below? The only time I sell a CD with OOo on it, is when I have it full of software and must cover the CD costs, plus any profit going to a local charity - stated so on CD. Selling OOo for $49 for just a prepacked CD, with no support to speak of, is not proper. It use to be a policy that eBay would not sell repackaged free software. This was a few years ago. So now OOo is now listed as a free-type software? Good. Was it not long ago someone did that and listed this email list as their official support solution? - Original Message - From: "mike scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:15 AM Subject: Re: [users] OT: ebay rules for digital listing changed (no more selling OOo downloads) On 3 Apr 2008 at 16:07, Dotan Cohen wrote: I won't elaborate, read it here: http://www.ebaychatter.com/the_chatter/2008/03/digital-downloa.html I think your subject is over-optimistic - afaics this just restricts the way it would be sold to be "Classified Ads format" (http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200803241300132.html) Do I misunderstand?
