How to know if an ebook can be resell or not?
Posted Wednesday, March 10, 2010 by admin
I purchased this ebook from the seller and thought of reselling it but in the ebook, there’s a (c) sign in there. Does that mean it is copyrighted and I can’t resell it? But at the first place, howcome the seller is selling it? How do I know if the ebook is for resale or not? Thanks for any advice people.
TIP
don’t buy e-books
you can get them for free on the internet
(c) symbol indicates that the material is copyright…. You can sell it…. Most e-books come with books you buy in the store and some fool is selling them…..
Hello.
As the last person pointed out, yes you can get some for free. But not all of them are free. Many times the ones you get for free are in violation of the sellers terms and you have an illegal copy. And, no, not all of them are copies of normal books.
There are a couple of ways to know if you can resale it. First, check the ebook itself. Many times it will state in it if you have resale rights.
Contact the seller. They will tell you if you bought rights to it.
One thing you can use as a guideline is if the file came with the sales page. If it did, then most likely you have the rights to it.
The last thing you can do is contact the writer of the ebook. There are probably links in the ebook to that person or site. They will let you know if they allowed resale rights to it.
An ebook can still have resale rights to it even though it has a copyright symbol in it. It just means you can’t copy the material and call it your own. But you can resale it as long as you don’t change any of the content.
Hope that helps you. If you have any other questions, you can contact me though my eBay store and I’ll be glad to help you.
Best wishes to you,

Hi, If you purchased an eBook from the author you do NOT have any rights to resell it unless the author gave you explicit MRR – Master Resale Rights. You can always contact the seller to make sure. Your best bet would bet would be to write and sell your own eBook. If you are interested in reselling eBooks written by someone else then you should search for eBooks that offer you MRR rights.
