Can someone explain to me how digital sales work on ebay? I see a lot of sellers who sell meincraft accounts. But when I tried to do the same, my account got banned for violating ebay rules. How does this work?
 
this topic made me curious so i googled how do people generate tracking numbers for virtual goods.
there were a few ppl on bhw saying it can be done but did not explicitly say how. wouldn't hurt to seek them out and shoot a pm.
lots of variables here too. it's one thing to find/generate a tracking number that says package delivered within the proper time window. a much bigger thing for that package to match your customers city/address. may be as simple as sending an empty envelope to your buyer.
keep searching....how are they doing the Minecraft? likely they warmed the account up with some legit sales, then put on the Minecraft item. stuff like that, you can expect them to be banned within 30d usually. I've been reading lots of Esty threads lately. yeah you can sell goods against ToS like magic spells (remember that funny thread?) and you may make a couple grand. but eventually you will get banned. then you can reload and fight again with stealth's accounts. at this point it becomes a whole cat vs mouse thing. sure you will be net positive but you may be pulling your hair out dealing with multi accounts + suspensions.
best of luck getting the answers you seek. in my 1 minute google search i found a bhw thread guy claiming 400k+ monthly revenue selling cd keys (not etsy but digital goods related) and was open to questions.
i was going to link it to you but sadly he was banned for violating bhw rules.

It's not easy anymore to sell digital on ebay, those who are already selling had account warmed and aged and managed to remain under radar
NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE CAUSE YOU NEED TO PROVIDE TRACKING NUMBERS!
Yeah in first sales, but after that no need

That's intereseting, can you give me the link to the thread of the dude who sells cd keys with that profit
 
You need to warm up your account and it must be an aged account bro .
Ofcourse , the digital goods are not allowed selling on eBay .
 
selling digital goods is never sustainable, you'll keep getting banned and banned for so little money. invest your time in physical goods
 
why not build site yourself sell digital products.
primarily reason is ebay has all the traffic already.
make your own site = you need your own marketing strategy too.
ebay you just get organic hits immediately.

Terms and condition differs by the region. For instance, sellers in UK and other countries are allowed to sell digital goods on eBay. But its mostly forbidden in US. I suggest you checking their terms and conditions and call them for latest update.
 
I had experience selling digital goods on Ebay, mostly stealth accounts live for 1-2 months, old accounts that are more than a year old are best suited, it is better to take accounts from EU countries for them there is a direct withdrawal of money to bank iban.
 
digital is not sustainable tthey banned you .slaes few physical product
 
I have been selling digial goods for years (before corona) and it is constant game of cat and mouse.
