What I like about E-junkie is, in $5 anyone can start selling. The only problem which you (If you are in India), will face is accepting payment from Indian PayPal user. Since you can’t use it, you need to look for alternative payment processor offered by e-junkie, like ClickBank, Authorize.net & few more. The problem is, others are not so simple to setup like PayPal.
Another useful feature that eJunkie offers is to run an affiliate program for your product without any charge. For example, you can sign up for my eBook Affiliate program using this link here, and you will be paid 80% of all sales. You can download eBook cover image here to use with your affiliate promotion post.

In the coming days I will explore more options like EDD WordPress plugin, Gumroad to sell your own digital product. If you want to get notified for the same, you can subscribe to ShoutMeLoud newsletter here.
Update: When I was trying to get subscription from e-junkie after the trial period, I got PayPal error saying “You must add funds to your PayPal account before sending more money. ” I reached out to them about the issue, and here is the response:
PayPal is currently blocking domestic payments between parties both located in India, due to Indian tax technicalities for such online payments. E-junkie’s parent company, Sine Info Ventures Pvt. Ltd., is headquartered in New Delhi; therefore, we are currently unable to accept subscription payments from Indian merchants until this matter is resolved.
I have asked them for an alternative and will update as soon as I get a solution to this. Outside India, you will have no problem with e-Junkie.
