Hello, First I want to say sorry if this is the wrong place to put this post. Please move it to the proper place if you feel the need :)
Now to my question. I have a pay pal account and I use it for my buying and selling on ebay..I also have a web site that I am developing that will sell an option for a downloadable movie instead of waiting for it in the mail on cd or vhs. I want to use the same pay pal account however I dont know where to place the download link for that partiular movie so it is secure.

Simplified.. I don't want somone that buys something from me on ebay to stumble upon a page they shouldn't have been sent to.

If you need more clarification please let me know.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Have a Great Day.....

Welcome to the forums vector_anomaly!

Have you checked into the Paypal IPN? You also might look at http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/pdn/3p-solutions-outside

Are you looking for a PHP / ASP solution?

Thank you ....
Not php or asp. I was concidering using the "Payment Confirmation Page" as the page to get the download but I am just asking also if that is always the same page for every one. If you would buy something from me, and pay, you go to a page that says "Thank you blah blah bla......... " Or would i have to put a redirect to that certin download. I am not very "CODE" savy. I can write HTML really well. But when you get into different codes like java, php, asp,pearl, just dont get it.....
If there is an eaiser way that I can get a "On The Fly Download Page" that is only produced with a purchase of a movie. Please let me know.
Thanks again.

:) I know exactly what you mean. But I do not think that you can really do a secure download without using some sort of server-side scripting. The IPN helps to notify your server that payment was made & it is OK to "release" the product(s)

Ok, I found out that using pay pal you can point a successfull payment to a specific URL,unique for each purchase, and this is what I am in need of. I thank you for your time and the effort.
If I have any other questions Ill be sure to come here.
Thanks again.
