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.

    Tradebit is a fraud scheme to make money thanks to the efforts of vendors who pay to sell their products and advertise for this company is not content with the profits of commissions and even steals money from those who give them money “we “small or great professionals you want to do an honest extra income.

    First of all here I leave my testimony to warn everyone that these lords Tradebit did, I shamelessly stole and then not even give me any explanation or satisfaction.

    I registered on Tradebit me at the beginning made few sales, and paid the sales I made were only 3, after this stage I began to devote myself more to the products and make disclosures in several sites worldwide, behold, my sales increased significantly a week, the first sign was strange to have made two sales 39.99usd each, and two were returned, without my receiving any email from the buyer, but not strange if I thought it was the way it works as it was new did not do much if, but now I realize it’s a strategy because they’ve found more people that also happened. After these events the situation arises of why, I’m here to write, I had to get on Wednesday, 3/3/2010 my money that went beyond the weekly 100uds, when I receive the following email from Tradebit – subject: Tradebit Your account has been deleted text: “ILLEGAL FILES ON Tradebit”, the text was just this without any further explanation.

    I’m quite angry, because what they say is a lie all my files available on Tradebit I bought, just to a contradiction if I have illegal files all users Tradebit have these same files as you all know that buying Tradebit works to then sell. And had illegal files because only now tell me that now the files are already entered for more than a month.
    Even if he had illegal files could not cancel the account and be with my money, the clients that I got with my media clients I did get my product soon as I do right to the amount paid to Tradebit not satisfied with The committee that has to be very high 30% for those who do not do anything just sit to receive the profits of our effort, wants to play with the dedication of those who gives money and disclosure.

    Having said that I suggest everyone who does not want to be part of a company that just wants the profits for itself does not respect the work of those that grow, and seeing as they earn more than we sell, we have for our products appealing to encourage the purchase they just manage the site you earn 30% commissions on all sales, Tradebit estimated to have over 10 000 users now view and make all, not just the commission that they earn is very high as still steal the money to those who give them money think about it, I just write because I feel angry and cheated, BUT HAVE SO FAR NO RESPONSE Tradebit, STEAL, AND EVEN IN THE GIVE EXPLANATION.

    But I do not I shut up, those interested in joining forces against the company that generates large profits without doing anything and still steal and deceive honest people, contact.

    You were selling a “Tradebit clone” on your account. Tradebit is a registered trademark in the US and Germany and you were using our trademark on our site to promote a script that is nothing like our platform… What were you thinking, naming it “Tradebit clone”?

    This is a good excuse to delete your mismanagement of a brand that is sold not only by me but by many who sell on Tradebit.

    Yet I did not sell any product clone Tradebit, my sales are all the other product, and how can I sell something that I have??

    I want my money from sales I did honestly, to cancel without explanation? I just like seeing sell all examples of products Tradebit clone for sale on your site:

    http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/87839119-clone-tradebit-clone-payloadz-clone-e-marketplace

    So here are also selling Tradebit clone? the account is still active? Why? axas not good questions?

    What they want to cover my face with sand, I did not do anything illegal is as I say you are great but I have many influences, I just want my money back, and you make them with your money-making machine, thanks to people who not only give you money as advertising.

    Return my money selling anything related to “clone Tradebit”

    Because the sales were made to the customers paid for my product and you sit with the money that is mine? not fair or honest.
    Quite frankly that is all that you say?? well read what I wrote … may be well to notice what I say.

    Give me back MY MONEY fruits of my labor.

    thanks for the link, deleted that as well! and I will not discuss all your rants and problems here on this blog posting any more… if you have any problems with tradebit, email me or call me…. or keep posting your nonsense here, but I am done with reacting to that! cheers!

    Ralf I did not know you and you do not know me, I can give you many more links than that in which they are selling clone Tradebit, and I will stay with many fewer users, I just feel angry because I had canceled the account without no explanation, of course not need to come here to expose my problem, but how you answer me I can not keep silent.

    It is normal to say what I say is nonsense, but it is no nonsense Ralf.

    Do you just these questions:

    I did not make any sales script “clone Tradebit,” where’s the money from my sales of other products?

    My clients did not receive a refund (I spoke with them and received nothing)?

    So what I sold, who got money? on Tradebit? not just the commission you earn, and still get the money from our effort?

    I do not tou upset for making me the account canceled just aren angry because they were left with my money from sales I made, publicized by the way your site and what you give us in return? a higher percentage to promote your site through our products.

    JUST WHAT I WANT FOR MY RIGHT, MY MONEY.

    AND MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO IT AND FOR YOUR wonderful business.

    Instead of selling your designs on a site that takes a cut, you could have your own site to sell downloadable files of any type. MadBeeTech at http://www.madbeetech.com includes a site builder that makes it fast and easy to set up your own site that includes support for fully automated digital download selling. Buyers end up at your PayPal page, so their money goes right into your PayPal account. No middleman! Works for me…

    I’ve heard such things not only from you SOLRAC84, also from somebody else. I’m also a seller of Tradebit and I’ve been making good sales so far. I’m now wondering what if Tradebit found or someday trying to justify that ‘one’ of my hundreds of products are questionable and I’ve already hundreds of dollars waiting to be send to my Paypal account – Ohhh! I can’t bear thinking of them cancelling my account with that hundreds of bucks no longer reach my Paypal account just because of that say, one item! If they won’t refund the sales from that questionnable item then fair enough but if that includes the sales from other legal items plus closing of account then that is absolutely superharsh! If that’s really the policy of Tradebit, they’ll ruin their business in no time… they’re making money out of the labor of their sellers but if their sellers turn against them then it’s the end of their business. Fingers crossed this won’t happen as at the moment I’m making good money out of Tradebit.

    Hey everyone. I have been reading your comments about Tradebit and I am puzzled. I have never had any trouble with Tradebit and I love the site. Yes it is expensive to sell on there but look at their Alexa stats! They get way more traffic than my site does. So I will continue to use them. I must say also that I have NEVER had a week go by in 3 years where I didn’t get paid for my prior weeks sales. I am willing to help you guys if you need advice on how to use the site or if you have any questions, I am happy to answer them. Good luck and don’t stop trying to be successful online! There is a niche for everyone. Thanks, Dave
