Yes.  I sell the electronic version of "The Mystery Shopper's Manual" there.
http://www.infopost.com/ItemDescription.asp?navtyp=CCT173&ItemI=79108 to 
see my listing.

I believe that they don't generate a lot of traffic themselves (yet).  I 
think most/all of my sales have come from me directing people to the page 
from my site.  I have an article on mystery shopping at my site and at the 
end I offer various options for getting the book with links to my order 
page, InfoPost and Amazon.  (You can see how I did this at 
http://www.idealady.com/mysteryshop.htm/.)

I have received payment for the copies I sold, although it seemed to take 
several weeks after I requested payment to receive a check.  Other payment 
options (e.g., online cash such as Flooz) may be faster.  They have been 
responsive to my questions and other correspondence.

Before I listed with them, I ordered someone else's material to see if I 
was happy with the way the ordering and fulfillment worked.  It was very 
easy and smooth, so I signed up.

Bottom line:  It's easy, it doesn't cost anything (at least, for now) to 
set up one or more documents, and they seem to be legit.  But don't expect 
to sell a bunch just from being listed.  Market it yourself.  Infopost is a 
good solution if you want to offer your customers instant access to ebooks 
and other material but don't want to set up your own systems and processes.
