I have to admit I'm pretty curious how this works too.

Me too. I have received some good proposals though and will report back.

You can do most of this relatively easily if you are willing to work with PayPal. They have a thing called Instant Payment Notification for async notification of purchases. If you give PP yr cart functionality, then you have to write an IPN handler, which is a bit of a PITA, but then the temp download link and email notification are pretty easy.
Downsides:
1. PayPal is ugly.2. PayPal are bastards.

this job will make enough bank for it to be worth going with a proper credit card handler and their 2% and we need total control over look and feel -- and the are other components to it than just taking the money.
