    hi, Im completely new to internet marketing and building websites and im just creating my first one.

    I am selling an Ebook and want to know how to give the customer the link to download once they paid through paypal???

    How do I set this up so that they can only access the link once payment has been confirmed???

    I also want to set this up through an auto responder.

    thanks so much

    look at something using the IPN (assuming you use paypal)... there's a lot of scripts out there to do so, or get a freelancer to make you one...

    The easy way to get started is to specify an unlinked URL with a page that contains the download link as your return page when you encrypt the PayPal button.

    Using this method you have to change the page name, file name and button after every sale for maximum security.

    IPN scripting is a far better solution.

    What I posted is a fine way to test market a few products. If you start to have a lot sales it will drive you crazy that is when you go with a scripted solution.
