    I want to sell accounts to my website on eBay.
    Is there a way to do this aside from manualy mailing out unique coupon codes to the auction winners. (because I want it to be instant for them, not have to wait 12 hours till I can send them the code).

    I think this would be a way to increase your subscriptions in a HUGE way. It certainly would for me. If its not possible now It should definantly be looked into?!?

    Oh and I'll buy a case of beer or bottle of wine or something for whoever can help me get a workign solution to this problem.
    Yes I am trying to bribe you :rolleyes:

    I'm looking to do a similar thing and was looking at coupons to acheive it.

    My idea was to trap the email from paypal when the item is paid for and craete an automatic response rule in Outlook to send a mail with the coupon. I haven't done anything about it yet though

    Memberships of ebay

    Hi there
    I sell my memberships on ebay quite successfully.

    I list it as a digital item, then at the bottom of the listing form is a space for listing the instructions or URL to send the winners to.

    In this form I list the signup URL and one coupon code which I use for all ebay winners. I haven't had any problems with copying the code.

    So basically, someone buys the membership on ebay, ebay then sends them onto your signup instructions which says something like thanks - go to .......signup.php pop in all your details without any payment and pop this coupon code in the box and bobs your uncle.

    I set up the coupon to be 100% discount.

    I have been using this for quite a while and has been working well.

    Hope that helps.

    Yea it does sound like a great solution, but Id also be worried about my coupon being passed around. I suppose you can 1. change your COUPON code every week, and 2. Keep an eye on how many actual sales you got on ebay with the memberships being created on aMember.

    Hello,

    We added that feature (using coupons) to the latest version of MyDD
    http://myDigitalDispatch.com.

    You can generate a list of unique coupons in aweber, copy paste
    the list in your MyDD product and you are set to go. MyDD will pull
    the next available coupon and send it to your auction winner.

    MyDD is a LOT more than that, but it can do what you need quite well

    Let me know if you have any questions

    which category did you use ?

    The ebay help just says

    If the eBay category you've chosen is likely to have many digital items, you'll see a "Digital item" section on the Title & Description page. Click the link labeled "List as a digital file or information." The form will show specific fields and options for a digital item.

    But I can't find any or make the box appear

    Underfox can you explain bit more about myDD please.

    For instance do you need aweber for example or just your program provided a means of generating voucher codes is available?

    If I load your program onto my host and someone then 'Buys Now' from eBay pays through PayPal what actually happens next, The chain of events please.

    This seems as if it would be suitable for what I have in mind.
