Tradebit : Selling Downloads

tradebit.gifThere are many ways you can make money by selling downloadable files online. One option available is selling through Tradebit.

The Good Parts:

  • It’s almost free to use. It doesn’t charge a monthly fee or listing fees. It just gets a percentage (commission) of your sale price.
  • It supports several types of downloadable files – software, photos, music, documents, etc.
  • There’s an available support forum and a blog, where the owner seems to be quite responsive to site users’ queries.
  • Several available payment systems available – including Paypal and Google Checkout.
  • You set your own price to your downloads.
  • A few good features – including integration with your affiliate programmes, sales reports, etc.

The Bad Parts:

  • It’s a bit difficult to navigate. While testing the service, I got lost so many times. And, it can get really confusing/frustrating.
  • There’s limited customisation options.
  • Site presentation isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Would’ve preferred a better way to present products through the shop front.
  • Some features tend to go wonky at times.

Payment is done on a weekly basis, sent to your Paypal account. They also run an affiliate programme, where you make money by promoting other people’s downloadable files for sale.

If you’ve used the service (or still using it), let me know what you think of it. If you know of other similar services, I’d love to hear from you too.

    I purchased Money Forecaster for $19 and like the program. Tried to use again today and told that I cannot use my key number since I have used too many times. I must access the program to get my data that I carefully entered – what is going on!!! Is this a scam?
