Internet payments

Kagi: http://www2.kagi.com/
Paypal: http://www.paypal.com/

You can open accounts with either Paypal (the most common) or Kagi (easier outside the US) and arrange for people to pay you dirrectly and download the PDF straight from your site. Even if you go with selling PDFs via a third party arranging for a Paypal account to handlle internet cash and give people the option of buying from you difrrectly and cut out one more middle man is still a good idea.
