I am selling some ebooks, so Iam thinking that I can directly use paypal instead of some e-junkie or jvzoo etc..

As far as I know many chose ejunkie or jvzoo for the sake of affiliates. Is there still any other reason apart from affiliates?

I am thinking just to use paypal ( instead of e-junkie ). currently i have no intrest on affiliates.

    Well, if you use ejunkie you can have them deliver the ebook for you. With PayPal you can only recieve the payment but not deliver the actual ebook without sending them to a download page. But then you will have to make sure that the download page is protected and not shareable.

    I used ejunkie as a way to deliver the products to people who bought them. Nowadays I use a WordPress plugin instead.

    The reason to use paypal is trust. Many people have a PayPal account and so they already trust it.

    They are two different things - Paypal is a payment processor and Ejunkie is a front-end shopping cart, affiliate management tool. What a shopping cart utility gives you is:

    - Ability to setup multiple payment methods for your product - for example, one of my products I have both Paypal and 2CO setup, customers have the choice and while 75% use Paypal, the other 25% choose 2CO
    - Discount Codes/Coupon Codes and Split Testing - they offer you the ability to setup multiple price points that you can use to either split test offers or to send special offers to certain segments of your market or list (Ex loyal follower discount of additional 10%)
    - Affiliate management
    - Full control (across payment systems) for orders, returns, recurring payments, etc... this becomes more important when you have multiple products and multiple payment processors
    - Secure download link where you can have a cloaked link that times out to download your products

    What I like is having more control over my products, pricing, offers and affiliates and then pick and choose payment processors over time -depending on my product I take payment from 2CO, Paypal, Clickbank, Square and my own merchant account

    Just use PP to start, you can always alter your setup later if you need to.

    PP also has a simple shopping cart that works good and is easy to set up.

    When I used E-Junkie a few years ago it went through Pay Pal? it was the best due to the timed link you could email the customer

    IMO PayPal is more well known and trusted and likely to encourage more buyers

      Chris not sure if you have used E-junkie but it does have a lot of benefits

      you can have control of the downloading process through 24-48 hour expiring links and if you use pay pal you dont get your account frozen as much as using it only.
      And you can store your product on E-junkie and list it in there market place and $5 a month not to bad
