Pls help me choose: Pyrofeedz or E-junkie?

    I'll be selling some ebooks soon and I'm looking for a third-party web service to handle the automated delivery of my ebooks. After all, I don't want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to email my ebooks to my customers. I've narrowed my list of choices to Pyrofeedz and E-junkie. Right now, I have trial accounts with both and so far, I'm leaning more towards Pyrofeedz. They seem to offer more features and their interface is nicer. On the other hand, E-junkie is pretty good too with its pricing. Rather cheap. So, I'm still undecided. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Update: I just realised that new members can't add hyperlinks. So, the URLs are pyrofeedz.com and e-junkie.com

    Pyrofeedz looks dodgy as fuck...
    I would go with E-Junkie, they are reputable and have been in business longer than pyrofeedz(domain registered a few months ago..).

    Nah, they look alright, dude. I didn't get any sense of scam or anything like that about them. If anything, I actually felt a bit uneasy when I looked at E-junkie with their retro website LMAO I was like, WTF?!! LOL But they're legit too.

    Yeah, I looked up pyrofeedz on WhoIs too. They seem to be new but I don't hold it against them. I mean, my website is new too but that doesn't imply that I'm shady and that my ebooks are rubbish. I've been ghostwriting successfully for the last 4 years and as an author, I'd say I'm quite experienced. Who knows? Maybe the programmers at pyrofeedz were working at established companies in the past and only now decided to start one themselves. I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt in terms of experience.

    For those who are wondering, I've actually gone with pyrofeedz. The biggest issue for me is that E-junkie use their own payment buttons. There have been quite a few cases where their server went down and as such, orders couldn't be made at all. As for pyrofeedz, I still use my payment gateway's buttons (Paypal) and as we all know, payment gateways tend to be more reliable in terms of uptime. So, with pyrofeedz, I won't have to worry too much about losing sales. I mean, if the digital delivery failed, at least I can email my customers my products. But for lost sales, there's nothing I can do. I also think the features that pyrofeed offer are better for my business.

    So far, it's been good. During my launch, the product delivery went smoothly for all my sales. And it was quite a lot too since I was using my mailing list. Still, it's too early to say. I think a month would be a much fairer window period for assessment. I'll post another update after a month on my experience with them. I sure hope they don't f*ck up. Otherwise, I'll switch to another company faster than they can blink. And I'll ask for a refund too LMAO Cos they offer 30-day money back guarantee LOL

    Thanks though for your reply.

    First of all you have to use trial pack for both then it will be easy to decide between pyrofeedz and e-junkie. E-junkie is good, but I suggest you to use pyrofeedz, it offers secure digital content delivery, good for selling products online. pyrofeedz offers various complimentary services as a verity, security, speed, growth, integrity, conquer etc. Its user interface is easy to use. pyrofeedz supports variety of file types.
    And the best part is you can get your money back if you are not satisfied.

    E-junkie has a good reputation for selling stuff and the fees are reasonable. I've never heard of pyrofeeds tho.

    I've used e-junkie for a few years now and never had a problem. Someone mentioned something about payment buttons, but you can change those images. The only thing I don't like is the price goes up as you add products and I'm getting tired of that. I was looking at something the other day that looked like a good replacement. Mal's cart or checkout or something like that -- just google Mal's shopping cart.
