A couple of questions:

1. What happens if that "one download" is unsuccessful? Are you going
to make the buyer pay again?

2. What is to stop one person from buying your program, then sending it
off to all of his friends (or uploading it to another site)?

You can do it, but in addition to the other comments about PayPal - if
they have a system outage, it can take several hours (even after they
make it back up) for them to process the payment. It doesn't happen
often, but it does occur.
