Ive sold content products on sites that use a similar method, but I would not do it. But those sites are quite different from PayPal, KAGI and eSellerate in that they have built in fairly mature marketing systems that also are part of the package. I see distinct "layers" of value in these services. We use PayPal because the cost is low and it is relatively transparent - it isnt associated with any particular perception in the software market, whereas KAGI and eSellerate have "shareware" written all over them and that writing also ends up on your product. If that's a label you are comfortable with, then KAGI is an excellent way to go. Also, if you are looking at micro-payment style pricing for your products and NOT publishing through a third party, Id say KAGI is also a good choice. I think it's a good idea to decide where you want to go with your software business when making this kind of decision. If you do not see yourself turning your software business into a full time endeavor AND you arent selling an infrastructure style product (where buyers are often scared to buy something called shareware), then go for it. Andre's module for working with KAGI is worth looking at - I havent seen it since last year's RevCon, and the devotion shown by KAGI towards Rev developers is admirable.
