Email Efficiency Tips from ReplyTool

I have some ebooks that I want to sell on a site, but I want an "autoresponder"? (is that the right term?) that sends the file upon payment by paypal. What are they called, and what should I google. I would prefer an Australian product, but it's ok if it isn't.

This is possible, you probably want to search for selling digital content, digital products, sell downloads etc..

The process is pretty simple, you put a paypal button on your site with some id tracking codes. When someone makes a payment using those codes, paypal notifies software on your website via IPN.

I've got a complete package here:

(Full disclosure, I own that site)

It will send them back to your site after making a payment and then allow them to download your ebook. (it doesn't send the file through email)

One thing to be wary of when sending files through email is their spam/bulk email filters may filter out your ebook. They might think you ripped them off
if it gets lost in their email system.

You can also write your own if you like, I made a support class file available (for free) to anyone who decides to do this:
