Adding A Downloadable Ebook File

You'll need a bit of scripting knowledge, but basically you have a page with an "add to cart" button that takes them through to Paypal. Once at paypal they pay and use use IPN (instant payment notification) to instruct a script on your server to either authorise them for download or email them the file (if it's under a couple of meg).

I use a similar system on my ecommerce site to let me know when a payment has been completed. Full information on IPN can be found on the paypal website.

PayPal - I believe has a few tools for merchants you can use. You need to make sure you protect your download page though. many people can just look at your code and see where a person gets redirected to and download the ebook free.

You can look at a small program -
