Ok this is spam really but I need advice and I want you guys to see it

I've been selling boxing dvd's on ebay for a couple months, and doing suprisingly well. Everyone who has bought from me loves them and says I make the best discs on eBay which is probably true as most people just seem to ship them in a plastic sleeve.

Anyhoo I know eBay arn't too keen on this sort of thing so don't want to be selling on there for long. I have enough customers to consider making a website of my own but am completely flumoxed as to how to go about it.

I see there are a couple of such sites that have links off of this site so am wandering what you guys think?

Is it really illegal, will I get caught? Will Don King come over to the UK and bust my ass?

I don't really want to go to jail, nor be somebody's bitch but I do like the extra £500 a month or so, so I think it's worth a try.

I'm not going to be advertsing the site at all, it's just for existing customers so that I'm away from eBays prying eyes.

Do you think this should be ok?

the guy i buy from has been selling for at least a year and he never got caught yet!!
i would advise only to put up3 or so for sale at a time, or maybe have seperate usernames to sell others so that if you get busted u can be like its jus a one off and first time kinda thing...
and also!! you got any copy's of mab or erik morales careers? if so how are the quality of the earlyer fights and are there many in that are in a different language lol? cheers

yes it prob is illegal

so rather than having a site for all to view

why not do it via email, get a sending list and each week send them mail telling them wats new ???

You should be okay...but go about it like this...set your site up & "trade" fights among collectors. Understand?

Your'e not technically selling the fights...your'e trading them among other boxing enthusiasts.

The money comes later for shipping the fights at $9.95 each disc or $39.95 for career sets...seeing as they weigh more. ;D

I wish it were that easy. I think most people like to buy something an official way through a shopping cart rather than just hand over money based on an email.

I've certainly got a few customers who would buy that way but the majority wouldn't I don't think.

My plan is to email them (as I am doing) once a week telling them of the fights that weekend and what I'm covering, followed by a link to my website where they can purchase it. Currently I'm linking to my eBay auctions but I don't really want to be advertising on eBay for long.

I think if I say I'm offering this, for this weekend just send me a fiver and I'll post it out to you, the majority arn't going to go for that.

;D Always down to help a brother out babe.

That shit works though...& :coolclick: right back

Funny thing, I've had 3 coolclicks today but my total has stayed on 286 :(

I think people arn't following through on their promises ;)

I get that a lot too... :P people can be arsed to post and say 'CC' but not to press the back button/find another one of your posts and actually give you one...

Either that or it reversed a sad click they gave you... if your sad clicks go down then they've given you one and probably didn't say :P

The thing is finding a web host service that gives a rats a** about TOS. Some sites are strict while others are not concerned. If you get enough reports they may violate your website. If you host these from your PC, the only way they can stop you is if the law comes to your house and disconects you. They will and they have but they let you off with a slap in the hand.

I am looking Emanuel Augustus set or partial sets.

You got that? Hook me up.

lol i dunno if i ever seen ems set on sale anywhere!!

Clever, but as an attorney, I can tell you it's blatantly transparent and you'd be just as liable for copyright infringement. If you got sued--and that's a big, huge, "if,"--it's highly unlikely--you'd be on the hook for statutory damages or "actual damages" (which would likely be computed based on how much you're making off this, though whoever owns the copyrights could also come up with some kind of lost profits theory). And those damages would be trebled because your infringement is willful (i.e., you're aware these are copyrighted works you're copying and selling).

So, basically, no question that it's illegal and you'd be on the hook for at least a few thousand dollars, but if it's a relatively small operation, no one's going to waste the time suing you. (their attorneys' fees would quickly surpass the recovery they'd be able to get from you)

Ok I'm looking into getting some kind of webhosting,

Basically I know squat about web design so I want something cheap and easy with web site creation and auto set up paypal shopping cart.

Plus I want them not to care about my boxing dvd's obviously.

Any ideas anyone?

Oh and thanks for the help up to now!

Hiya Bilbo,

did you sell me that Joe Calzaghe career set a couple of months ago? If you did, it's top quality merchandise brother, I'm a big fan. What else do you have on the market?

And here's a pretend cc fr ya, I really don't have the time to push back on my browser :p

Well thanks for the pretend coolclick but it wasn't me you bought that off.

I've only been selling for a month and don't do career sets.

But yes, mine are indeed top quality merchandise ;D

I bought a couple fights on ebay. One of the sellers was selling something different like a random baseball card from their collection, but when you buy it you get this dvd of a fight for FREE!! It's all in how you phrase things. Just make sure the thing your selling could conceivably sell for the same price.
