eBay merchants could soon be following in the heels of Apple's iTunes Music Store and other digital music sellers, following the e-commerce marketplace's announcement this week that it plans to test ways for users to buy and sell downloadable products.
This week, the company unveiled a new Digital Downloads product subcategory within its Music product category, as part of a 180-day pilot program aimed at gauging whether such an offering could be feasible over the long term. Unlike services like iTunes, eBay will handle only the online sales portion of the buying process. According to the company, sellers are required to oversee the secure downloading and digital rights management for the music they sell.
This should be interesting to see how it turns out. -KF
