Enlighten me, please.
The problem with that is while you don't have a copy any longer, if the eBook originally had DRM, you can;t strip the DRM to sell it. Also, if you can still go back to where you purchased it and download it again, you can't sell it.

What needs to be done is for the shop you bought the eBook to transfer it to a different account. But then, they can't be sure you've deleted all copies.
