If you have made an eBook, then first off - good job! It's by no means an easy thing to do, and it takes continuous determination, persistence and patience. At this point you're trying to find out how you can get paid for all of your labour by selling your eBook. Here are 3 points that you should give serious consideration to:

The first option is the most simple, least expensive and also the most "DIY" option of them all - PayPal!

It takes only a few moments to set up your PayPal account. Once you login to PayPal, do a search for "Buy Now Button". Here you will be able to configure your settings, and in just moments it will produce an HTML code for the button which you can simply place on your site. Voila! It's almost instant.

The second option is to take this a step further, opening the doors to offering your customers more payment options, and also giving others the opportunity to sell your book for commission. For this, I suggest that you apply for a Clickbank account. There is a one-off fee for using Clickbank, however it will pay off. This choice is really popular among affiliate marketers, and by using this service, the chances are you might find your eBook being sold across the Web.

This option does require some level of understanding of web development in order to set this up and meet the criteria. You will need a page on your website where you intend to display and sell your product; you will also need a thank you page too. Once you have these ready, Clickbank will happily place your product in their marketplace after it has completed the approval process.

If you would like to sell your eBook in other marketplaces, you could also try websites such as LULU, YUDU, Amazon and PayLoadz for this as well. It's certainly worth putting in the extra time to add your book to these sites.

Your final option is the choice of shopping cart software. This is definitely the way I would recommend you go if you're planning on eventually selling lots of products. With this, you should be able to customise your shopper experience and create a bespoke interface for your online store' in fact; you can sell pretty much anything through a shopping cart. You will need a payment gateway such as WorldPay or something similar, and you may find yourself paying a monthly fee for both, so make sure your money is well invested, and consider selling other items so you can really make this investment pay off.

I am barely touching the surface with these possibilities, as there are quite a few different products and services available which will allow you to sell - and promote, your eBook. These are the most commonly used options, and are widely recognised amongst both consumers and sellers alike.

With whatever option you decide to go for, I wish you every success with selling your eBook!
