Can you sell .pdf files?

Just discovered Bonanza within the last half hour! Thinking of selling on here, but can anyone tell me, when listing an item, do you get the option to list pdf s for instant download like you can on Etsy? I design sewing and crochet patterns which I would love to sell alongside my handmade finished items.

I’ve checked the restrictions, especially copy written items, and since these are YOUR patterns, there doesn’t seem to be any problem with selling your PDFs. You can contact Bonanza directly if you want. Go ahead and try it. You have nothing to lose! Welcome to Bonanza!

Hello [URL removed]

Found out that the answer I submitted below is obsolete, apparently. I was confused and emailed Support. Was told that digitals are allowed, even for me. I have a basic, free booth. I just tried to upload a .pdf too, and it worked! So we’re not restricted to .jpeg and .png.

The upgrade subscription page shows that digitals are only available for Gold, Silver & Titan memberships, and it shows limited digitals for Gold & Silver and unlimited for Titan. I had seen in my shop that if I list my product as “Digital” a digital upload widget opens. I never used it because I thought I couldn’t. I thought it would mess up my store, or I’d be suspended, and I didn’t want any problems here, lol.

So happy digital selling!!!
Love Bonanza. Don’t you?
******************************************************
You will have to buy a subscription account in order to offer immediate digital downloads. Looks like you can sell 500 digitals with a Gold [URL removed] [URL removed] . Higher memberships offer the selling of more digitals.

If, however, you choose to start with the free booth(shop), you will have to email your digitals to buyers, or use an online digital delivery service. There is at least one free one that I had to use when I purchased a digital from a shop. It was ok, but the site was crammed with ads and it wasn’t that easy to find the link that I was supposed to access to download my digital.

Welcome to Bonz and good luck!
