Head to EDD's settings under Extensions. Make sure readme parsing is enabled and that you have a valid downloadable readme.

Edit Your Download and Enable License Creation

License creation must be enabled in order to sell your downloads. It is also required to show your plugins using the WP Plugin Info Card, as it enables extra fields for your plugin..
