    Well its not directly possible there are some scripts which do this check latestgoods.net

    You can add buy now buttons directly in paypal and keep a landing page perhaps

    You can better use a site like Payloadz or e-junkie to sell digital goods. :)
    I used to use them and they are pretty good.

    You need to create a hidden directory that will not be indexed by the search engine and place your digital product on a landing page there with the download path, create a buy now button from paypal and when transactions is successful you return it to that url.

    WARNING -- Selling digital goods with ebay offers no protection for either the buyer or the seller. Personally i would stay well away from them to sell your stuff.

    You can either submit your digital product to clickbank, click2sell, paydotcom, or shareasale to get affiliates to help promote your website. There are many ways in where you can sell your digital products. The most important aspect, is your product launch, and this you will need an email list for.

    You can use PayPal but make sure you have a way to track each customer and ensure that they download their digital goods.
    If you track them that way, IF and/or when they start a dispute with PayPal stating they never received the goods and they want their money back, you can then provide PayPal with that information.
    We implement that with our customers and logfiles are the best combat for those people that want something for free.

    If you have a one or two products, you can set up product redirect urls while you creating paypal button. Simple. But if you have more products, then install a paypal cart for easy processing of payments and downloads.

    I would suggest using prestashop. It has downloadable product capability.

    No you cannot do it using paypal website.
    Instead you need a digital download script to run the site.
    Avoid middle man such as e jukies if you want earn more.
