I would like to obtain a list, if possible, of all data products that
are succesffully sold on ebay at a cost of over $5.00.  One product
must at least be sold / day.  The list should contain product name,
price, and frequency sold.  Products must be information based and no
physical delivery of the product is necessary.

Hello there,
For most of these digital sales, a physical CD is shipped but it is
unnecessary to do so.  You could simply upload these on to a server
(if you don't know any free high storage servers, I can direct you)
and allow the buyer to download them.  The sellers usually just ship
the data on CD to first, skim a few dollars on shipping and second, in
some way, convenience.
As for the frequency, I believe you want the frequency of sales per
seller, not the total amount of that product sold in a day.
Some sellers tend to get more sales than the other and since this
depends on the seller's ability to produce good auction pages and
feedback rating, I will use the frequency of sales for a competent
seller.
Also, different sellers sell the following products under different
titles; but essentially any product that sells regularly will fall
under one of the products on this list.
Macromedia Dreamweaver Templates, Backgrounds, Flash animation - $5.00

Controversial Forbidden/Revenge CD (also known as Spy CD) (used to be
5+/day but now about 1-2 /day per seller.  Also partially due to the
fact that hundreds of sellers jumped in and all tried to sell the same
CD.)
This is probably the most well known data sale; there's many different
names for it.  This CD is probably the most sold CD on eBay in terms
of sheer numbers but since there was a significant amount of sellers
for this CD, the number of sales per seller per day isn't as high as
one would think.  This seller charge 1.99 for the actual cd and 12.50
for the shipping; obviously the profit is from the shipping cost.

A very popular type of data sale is game items for internet video
games, such as Diablo II.
However, selling of these items require that you spend a significant
amount of time playing the game.

Products such as shop creators (online store designs,shopping cart,
etc), information on building/repairing PC, ebay marketing CDs, etc
once sold decently but now, you'd be lucky to get a sale on them.


I hope this has helped,
Best of luck,
Tox-ga
