Congrats about the paypal thing Smiley Paypal really helps with an online business.

About the site, you definitely need more content. Try to write something like a letter or something.

i need your honest opinion about this idea of mine. is it tempting to shell out a dollar to download all the ebooks you like, that is, until the page expires after an hour. i still have more ebooks to add there, about a hundred more, which brings the total number of ebooks available to about 145 titles covering different topics like recipes, candle-making, pitbull breeding, etc.

Setting the limit based on time would eliminate anyone like me stuck with a slow dial-up account. If the ebooks have any size to them, I'd be lucky to get one downloaded in an hour.

Maybe charge $2 for one, $5 for 3, etc?

thanks YMC. the ebooks there are not really big files. they are all less than 500 kb, average 250 kb. what speed is your connection anyway. im on 56k dialup too.

So they do accept payments now? Can you use an e-mail address much like the paypal US?

You need to set this up in a more automated way than a "buy now" button.

When you have an electronic product shop, the product should be downloaded after payment.

Regarding the price I think you should raise it a little, as paypal will get most of this $1 Smiley (I think it is $.3 + 3%)

yeah you can download it immediately after your payment "... even if it is still 2 AM!"
