Hi,



am selling an ebook. Just released an update and want to inform my buyers with a fresh download link. But all I am offered is sending a newsletter?



ebook is hosted on e-junkie.



What can I do??



Thank you

Bear in mind the following limitations explained on our Updates & Newsletters help page:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.updates.htm NOTE: Products will be unavailable to send Updates for if they are set to Send Stored/Generated Codes, or are using Inventory Control, or are using the Send Payment Data to a URL (Payment Variable Information URL) feature. You can send Updates for such a product by temporarily disabling those features in the product's settings, then re-enable them if necessary after sending the Updates.

HI,



finally had the chance to look into this...



"NOTE: Products will be unavailable to send Updates for if they are set to Send Stored/Generated Codes, or are using Inventory Control, or are using the Send Payment Data to a URL (Payment Variable Information URL) feature. You can send Updates for such a product by temporarily disabling those features in the product's settings, then re-enable them if necessary after sending the Updates."



That means that the updated version will NOT HAVE THE WATERMARK AND CAN BE FREELY SHARED...????



Is that correct???



If so, this is a MAJOR downside!



Any ideas??



Thanks

As explained on our PDF Stamping help page, under the "A Few things to keep in mind" section:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/selling-ebooks.htm 5. Free download links issued via the Updates function in your Seller Admin cannot issue Stamped files;

However, free links you issue individually via Seller Admin > Send Free Download Link now CAN be stamped. This is because those links are generated via basically the same process that generates links for actual sales, whereas Update links are generated by a different process. That said, I've brought this up with Development to see if we can make this work for Updates too at some point in the (hopefully near) future.

thx, and thank you for you kind support!



good idea, right now it updates are manageable...



yes, it would be great if the update feature could include the stamping



Best Wishes

oh, btw, would it also work if I use "resend expired links"??



and is there a way to see the buyers' email addresses?



Sorry for asking soo much

Re-activating/re-sending expired links for a Stamped PDF product is also covered in the "A Few things to keep in mind" section of that help page:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/selling-ebooks.htm 4. Ordinarily, if you update a product's file and the buyer uses their original, unexpired download link again after that, they would get the latest file you'd uploaded for that product; however, if you enable PDF Stamping, each buyer's original download link will always issue their original Stamped file, even if you re-activate their link;

I.e., if you want to issue links to download a new edition of your file, you must issue each buyer a new link, rather than re-activating their old one.
