"Online auctioneer eBay Inc. is offering downloadable music through selected sellers in a six-month test to decide whether to join other major companies in the marketing digital media.

"Sellers chosen for the pilot would have to ensure copyright protection for the content and meet service-level agreements. Music buyers would not be allowed to resell the files on eBay.

"The trial follows Apple Computer Inc.’s announcement this week that it has passed the 100-million mark for downloads from its iTunes Music Store."
