    Hi all!

    I have setup this site :
    http://winningatcontests.co.cc/

    At the bottom I have added a paypal button that will send the money to my paypal account.

    I have uploaded my product on my host , in lets say 'xyz' directory in my host root
    I want that when a person makes payment , he is able to download the product automatically.I am not sure it is this only now or not as I am not able to verify that this is working.Paypal says that Buyer cant login into the sellers account.

    Please help me.
    Thanks

    the reason you can't test it is because you can't pay yourself

    as long as you typed in the correct link it should work fine, make sure you included the file name, and not just the directory that it is under

    you can encrypt your paypal button

    you should also monitor the amont of traffic going to the download directory and change the link on a regular basis

    Yes, you cannot test your own paypal script. There are several services that will allow you to send a digital download after a purchase. I'm trying softseller.com for my ebook.. The service has been working well so far.
