What site(s) do you use for hosting and selling your ebooks?

    I've recently written two ebooks that I'd like to get into the marketplace. Besides trying to sell a few here, I need a host for them so that I can accept paypal payments and have customers receive the ebooks through an automated digital delivery.

    Never having set this up before, I'm looking to find out what sites people use and what the potential costs would be per month. Free would be my preferred option.

    Thanks in advance!

    Many thanks. PM sent.
    I have had a look at e-junkie but am being put off by having to pay a monthly fee. I also found tradebit who charge a commission on your sale, but no additional fees.
    ???

    I'm looking to get my company going or a DBA division for doing product publishing and deployment... After we've completed a few more... Could work something out with you so you're not going out of pocket and you're getting more than just a piece of software, but some people to help you too....
    I have DL guard, paydotcom, wso pro...... for this as well as other solutions, and depending on your needs many free solutions are possible if you have the time / skills for them...
    eshop for wordpress plugin has downloadable file distribution features built in as well.

    I would recommend you to start your own online shop for books. If you can create your own with one time fee, why to pay the hosts a heavy amount. Wordpress is no more a blog specific platform. Get it if you have Linux server hosting and there are so many templates available for online shop. Its as easy as one two three :) I was able to find some good templates (or say your entire ecommerce site) on themeforest.com
