I would like to use solder mask for my pcbs (to make them easy to solder them), but I don't know the process to apply solder mask.

I found this product on ebay :

How can I apply solder mask in an etched pcb?

Any thoughts?

Haven't used such a thing so I can't be of help. But, an alternative that is quite cheap is to use a lacquer spray can. You can coat the traces and pads in one shot. It will preserve the copper and you can solder right through it.

Can you explain the process?

I am not familiar at all how to make a green solder mask.
