    Hi guys...do you know how to automate the process of selling ebooks in ebay? Like,as soon as the buyer presses the buy button,he/she will be taken to the download link...so I'll be earning even when I'm asleep.

    Also,will that link be password protected? how?

    Use the digital delivery option.

    You put in a link, and when the buyer buys your item, they are shown that link.

    would it be a threat once that download link was shown to the buyer? can it also be shown to non-buyers as well?

    It depends on what you want to do,
    if your just getting your affiliate links exposure, then it shouldn't matter

    but if your actually trying to run a ebook resell business.
    you have to find a way to trigger an autoresponder campaign for each product you sell.

    if you think their's a way, then there probably is....

    If the buyer were to take that link and give it away to some or for free to people then that link would be easily shown on other computers I'd say for sure..

    e-junkie lets you put limits on how many time the file can be downloaded and also how long the link will be active.. prevents theft.. http://www.e-junkie.com/?r=7688

    You can also check out DLGuard too, it's a hosted script so you don't pay monthly fees.

    Generally speaking, though, download managment systems don't really give instant access to your product because Ebay doesn't give us enough control over the sales buttons, and so your product is usually delivered automatically via email.

    cheers
