This is interesting. Similar services seem to be: 1. GumRoad (5% + 25cents) 2. InstaMojo (5% + 30cents) 3. e-junkie (it's complicated) 4. Pulley (per month starting from $6)

Pulley seems like the most promising to me (nice UI + appropriate pricing model).

But what I am really interested in is a store model, where there are categories, and ratings and users can discover more stuff and generic enough to host music, apps, etc. In short, an amazon for digital goods. And slim processing fees.

The tricky part is handling VAT for some geographies (such as Euro). What I would love is a service which either: a. Handles all VAT concerns b. allows me to limit sales for such countries. (to an Indie seller it can be a hassle).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree it's convenient, but I'm having a hard time imagining people who would be selling digital content, if only they didn't have to upload it to a storefront...

Are there any generic examples of a digital storefront that you can easily self-publish files (preferably up to 25MB or so)? I'm not currently aware of any (although I haven't actually tried to search them out).
