Zipidee was an online marketplace for your digital goods. The service shut down and their website currently returns a servcie error. It's not the first, yet it will offer you the most control over the pricing and distribution of your assets. Like music aggregator and white label service [Snocap](http://crunchbase.com/organization/snocap), Zipidee allows you to create your own store front in the form of a widget placed on your website. You'll be able to sell anything audio or video (Snocap allows only audio) off your site for any price you specify with or without Zipidee's proprietary DRM. Your customers will be able to buy downloads or "rent" them through streams. Zipidee provides an analytics dashboard for users which provides sales data to help you adjust prices. The company will earn revenue by charging $1 per listing and taking a 20% cut on most items. Zipidee's competitors are payloadz, tradebits, eJunkie, [Edgeio](http://crunchbase.com/organization/edgeio) and Ebay to a lesser degree. It has secured an undisclosed amount of funding in a Series A round.
