Kits for sale

I've had several requests for some of my kits that have been previously posted for free for a limited time. I was planning to add those to my Scrap Store when it opens this summer, but I hate making people wait for them to come out again. I attempted to set up a paypal shopping cart feature so I could go ahead and start putting some of those kits up for sale now, before I have the grand opening and store ready later this summer. I got the account set up and started a webpage to do it, but I can't find a way for the links to be sent automatically after the payment. I found a few services you can pay for that do this for you, but I'm wondering still if there's a way to do that myself without having to pay for the service. I'm going to have to ask dh in the morning. If I can't do this, I could still set up the paypal cart but I'd have to email the links later - I'd say it should usually take me less than 24 hours to respond to those in most cases. What do those of you wanting to purchase some of these kits now think of this option?

Another problem - I've had a handful of emails about the download links for the freebies not working - redirecting people to the main page when they click on the d/l link. I'm totally at a loss for why this is happening. All the links on the site are hot link protected, and if someone trys to directly enter the links or click on them from anywhere besides the actual freebie page, it WILL rediret them to the main page of Sarah's Scraps. It SHOULD NOT do this though when you are clicking on the link on the freebie page. I've had several people try the links for me numerous times and they aren't getting redirected, so I'm not sure why on earth some people are having this problem. I need to contact the hosting service to see if they have any idea what the problem could be, but I'm realllllly swamped right now in these last weeks to finish school. I'll try to take care of it as soon as I can. All I can recommend for now is that you try the downloads from another computer. ?? I don't know.... I can put the links into yousendit file or something, but I just haven't had time to set those up yet. I promise I will let you all know what I can do as soon as I figure something out.

I've got tons of other things I'd love to "ramble and chat" about, but I'm so tired and not feeling so good. I need to go get a decent night of sleep. I know I've been fairly quiet on the blog lately, but I will be back..I just need to finish school - all things will lighten up tremndously after May 7!!! :-)
