One of the easiest ways to set up automatic delivery of your ebooks is using outlook express.
Most pcs have this installed on them and many people use outlook for their own personal email.
There is simply way of setting up a mail rule that will essentially deliver an automated email containing a download link to your ebook.
Simply type up a letter, use notepad or word.
Your letter will be along the lines of something like this:
**********************************************************************************

Ok so thats some of the things you should put in the letter, did you see what I did? I managed to mention my other ebay listings, my ebay shop and my ebook website, many people who receive that email will click on the links so its good advertising. Again at the end always put your website name under your signature.
Now you have to save a copy of your letter, and remember which folder you say it to, its a good idea to create a new folder in your my documents folder on your pc, simply go into my documents, right click and select new folder, give it the name Letters, and then save the letter you just created into this new folder
Now go into outlook express, at the top menu choose tools, message rules, mail.
Select new at the right hand side menu.
Now for the tricky bit...
At the number 1. box called "select the conditions for your rules" tick the box "where the message body contains specific words".
Now go to number 3. box called "rule description" and click on the underlined text saying "contains specific words" now enter the exact description of you ebay item name, ideally you should go to ebay and highlight and copy ebook item name and paste it into the specific word box.
Then click add then click ok.
Next go to number 2. box called "select the actions for your rule" scroll down in this box to find "reply with message" and tick the box.
Now go to box 3. called "rule description" and click on the underlined text "message"this will bring up a box to browse your files and find the thankyou letter you typed a few moments ago.
Note: you may have to use the drop down menu under filename, to select file type as TXT, or DOC. now click on the letter you typed.
Now go to box number 4. called "name of the rule" and insert a name ie. recipe ebook rule, call it something similar to your ebook title, as you will probably set up lots of rules and it makes them easily identifiable.
Now click OK. It will now be added as a rule, just click "apply now" and thats your rule done.
If you have another email send a test email with the item title in the body of the email just to check its working and that should be you all set up and ready to do another and another and another!
One last thing, its a good idea to set up another email address only for receiving paypal payments, you can have more than one email address added in paypal just go to paypal and its search help, add another email address, why would you do this?
Well if someone emails you a query about an ebook you have for sale and they include the item title in the email, they will automatically get your auto response letter and the download link for free!
So you get another email address, set up the rules for this email, make sure you list this email address as the one payment is sent to in your ebay listings and then if anyone sends you a query it goes to your email address registered with ebay and not the email you use for paypal payments.
But this is not foolproof either, you see if anyone sends a payment to your paypal email address even if its only for 1p then they will still get the link!
If you really want a high class automated delivery of your emails, with top level security then try this option, it works for delivery ebooks to ebay and from your website, you do have to pay but if its security and reliability you want then its a must have:
Hope this helps.
