Thank you for that. I sell on three other US sites (not eBay) that buyers can download from their Paypal invoice. It is so easy. One site, which charges for listing fees, I have to just make sure that I keep topping up the items available, but on the other two, I only have to upload once and they just stay for unlimited downloads.
None of these sites have the traffic of eBay, but I do quite well, and if I could crack the US eBay sales, I think that I could do very well.
Would having a US address and bank account be a plus? There is a way that I could do that, in a partnership situation.
Sorry, I really don't know (I know there are some other sites, eg the other one that starts with e and ends with y, catering primarily for handmade items, where you can upload digital items and buyers can access the download as soon as they pay), but I think eBay still requires them to be sent separately.
If it's not possible to include the link on the PayPal receipt (you might be able to get confirmation if asked on the US forum), I think think you would probably be able to edit one of the emails that is sent post-payment to include the download link.
EDIT: Scratch that idea (re: editing emails) - I just realised they're all generic emails sent to all buyers, so it would only work if you were selling one item. I don't think there's a way to edit an auto-email that's sent to buyers of specific items.
