For now I am trying the suggested www.Cerizmo.com.   Cost is reasonable and it offers another outlet for sales on it's site. I am already selling on iTunes and a couple of others where I split the proceeds.  But I have a some products I want to offer directly without a middle man. The lowest cost option does limit me to just 15 items right now, which may not work in the long run. But it is doing what I'd like so far and is working pretty seemlessly with my website.   Your suggestion is a good one. I'll play around with that option. I do have IPN set up for paper books that I physically mail. But I wasn't aware a re-direct could be set up. I thought the notification just came directly back to my e-mail. That is why I was asking this.   I will look into it.   Thank you.   TR ... View more

Hi Bob,   I already sites set up and PayPal payments for various products. These I mail as they are phsical books, CDs, photos, etc.   However, I know when someone buys an e-book or most any digital product, these days they expect to get that product immediately. I sometimes travel to places that don't have the best internet service in remote islands. So I can't always quickly respond to something like a digital sale.   I was hoping PayPal would have an automated downlaod set-up that would send a link the minute someone pays. They should. Digital products are growing by leaps and bounds and PayPal should be getting in on this instead of third party folks.   I'll try the links you have found. I also appreciate the sound business advice.   Very helpful.   Best,   TR ... View more

Hi Renee,   Thank you for your work and research.   I have looked at some of the partnering solutions offered through PayPal's vendors and partners. Most seem a bit pricey, however, and may not be affordable for small businesses that do reasonable but modest volumes.   Digital distribution, especially in the music and book arenas, is now a fact of life and growing by leaps and bounds in popularity.   PayPal already has a wonderful array of plans for retailers. I would encourage PayPal to continue to expand and to look into digital distrubtion models as part of what it has to offer. It can only benefit both PayPal, PayPal customers and the retailer's customers.   Best,   TR ... View more
