    I'm using Plimus, but I hate that they call customers to check validity of purchasing. 2CO and Plimus are the best and they accept paypal. Does anyone know any other

    For a starter, you can try the water by creating a quick product page that can accept payments via PayPal and automatically deliver your goods after confirming customer payment: WinkCart.

    paydotcom works with paypal so no call to customers. I guess this kind of process is damaging sales

    The best way to sell an online product is to sell it via large affiliate programs such as clickbank, peerfly etc. Peerfly i know has a lot of success with small time starters. Clickbank requires a lot of verification afaik.

    Best of luck selling your online product.

    I'm familiar with all of those except Plimus, so I checked them out.

    They seem popular and reliable (judged by Alexa ranking which I know is merely a rough indication). They do have a built-in affiliate program, but I don't know how many affiliates know about them. What I really liked though, is the fact that how they pay you include a pre-paid Mastercard - when payday comes, they just load your profits onto your card and you withdraw from an ATM - a huge boon for people outside the US. Also, they just charge a commission as a "reseller", with no set-up fee.

    I'm not saying they're better than any of the other established payment processors, but they definitely scored some points with me.

    Has anyone else had any experience with them?

    UPDATE:

    After I posted the above I scrolled down further on the Google results page. It seems not everyone is happy with Plimus:

    Just goes to show :(

    I had some problems with Plimus as a client - indeed - so I'm not keen to go with them as a publisher/seller.

    I did not know "peerfly"
