Hello all,
While I am not new to Ebay (been a member since '05) my activity has been
very limited. I'm one point away from getting a new star though. I'm at 9
now.
Part of my inactivity issue is finances, of course. There are a lot of
things I would love to buy and have shipped to my door. I also have an item
for sale! One that I could deliver immediately after payment (IF I can
figure out how).
First a lil background.
When I first signed up to Ebay I was hoping to sell a pic of my service
animal to as many folks as possible. I was trying to raise the capitol to
finance my debut album "ScuffleTown Blues". I needed to pay for the
mechanical license rights (Royaltys) for some songs I covered.
That Idea crashed and burned. Mainly because folks seemed to think it was a
sympothy plea and begging. Can't say that I blame them. The average person,
who doesn't need to know all of the circumstances behind the effort, could
in all fairness easially come to that assumption. Plus I didn't do a good
job of relating my intent.
Fast foward a couple of years and here I am with a CD for sale. The rules of
the mechanical license rights purchase allowed me to burn 500 copies of my
album. If I wanted to produce more, paying more at that time is allways an
option.
To date I have gifted or sold around 120 copies. One of the reasons why much
more have not been sold is due to transportation issues and the lack of
accessable venues where I can preform and sell my product. I live in a very
small town way out in the boonies of the grain belt. Also I am pretty much
stuck in my house because I do not drive (legally blind and epilectic. From
a Traumatic Brain Injury).
What I would like to do is offer my CD for sale on Ebay. As a "Buy it now"
item with multiple inventory and after payment recieved, either allow the
buyer to download thier copy or email (probably through "bigfileDOT com") a
copy of the album to the buyer.
One worry is how to service the dialup customers. That file transfer could
take awhile!
Another concern is with allowing folks to download the full album and
preventing that person from sharing the download link with others. probably
a passcode thing could fix that.
If anyone here has the inclination and the time to walk me through this
project, I would be very appeciative. You'll even get a free copy of my CD!
Tho I am sure it is not even close to proper compensation for the effort
involved.
Everyone here can get a look at my CD and download samples of the music,
including the title track in it's entirety, by following the link in my sig
section.
I thank you in advance and hope to hear from some kind soul soon!
Have a great day. :-)
