I know people have asked about sell photos on ebay and it didnt go over to well. With te cost of print and shipping and handling it can become costly and non profitable. My question is has any ever thought of auctioning of a digital file. You set the resolution, set the price and who ever wins pays you with paypay perferd and you email them the picture and whatever right you release to them. There no printing fees no shipping fees and you dont have to worry about it getting damaged in transport. Do anyone think this will or has it ever been done. If so how did it work. I ould like to know.

What keeps them from reprinting it over and over and over... I would say get a print, frame etc. Put it on ebay and just put a price that you wont lose money but make just a little. I put a couple of my blue angle pictures up like this and sold them. I didn't make much about $10 a print after all my costs. I say just try it be smart and make sure if it doesn't sell then you like it enough to hang on your walls. :)

If you actually do some research on eBay in photography, you'll see that it's not worth the time. Photography sells very poorly on eBay unless it is something of collector's value. ;)
