The Idea
Buy and sell media/content marketplace. Users register and can buy or sell content at defined or best offer prices. Users can upload or manually deliver the content (ebooks, scripts, software, images, movies, sound, etc) and accept payments through the site (or via paypal). Once payment is verified the buyer is given access to the content, and allowed to do with it depending on the license specified by the Seller. Buyers can rate and review Sellers. Sellers can be charged per transaction or weekly/monthly/yearly or by membership type or a percentage of the buyer payment is deducted etc...
I thought of this idea when I was...
A mix and match of some existing services like ebay, paypal etc

Sounds nice, but it also sounds obvious. Maybe it has been done..
Maybe you'll need a niche market? You should work out your idea in more detail, I think there is some good concept hidden in there somewhere that could still be original.
So maybe examples will make things clearer for me:
- If I have an e-book about e-books, and I put it online on the site?
- If I have made a videoclip for my band, I put in online on the site?
- If I made nice pictures of a tree, I put in online on the site?
It sounds stupid at first, but I'm not really sure it is. It looks a little like Google Base.
Great idea!
Content demand is on growth and will keep growing.
It will be great that legal copyright protection services are included in the % that the site will charge.
It is aimed to a very small target, but I think it will be very profitable in short time.
Cool.
I can do this with e-bay.
sorry not so great!
I do not understand.
This could be a workable concept if targeted at a specific market, for example information aggregators , like blogs. Packaging of the content would be required in a easily "adoptable" format.
Additonally some type of "sampling" process is required in order to prevent stealing but at the same time enable "tasting" of the content and its quality.
Been done.
Would need some control over how the media was licensed. e.g. buy the rights to use a video as part of another production or exclusively buy the video so that nobody else can use it etc.
hmm it could just work!
Quite like eBay. Why not try to build an indie-publisher, bringing publishing more to the masses who like to write (child) books but don't have the contacts/network to get published.
