This is a really good question because I was trying to integrate PayPal into
a
php cart and am getting no where fast, the only reason is that PayPal simply
takes a payment for a product or service and doesn't come back into your
site
and yes please continue!  Maybe I am wrong but I have even contacted paypal
and
they just refer you to a developers area which, to be frank, has nothing on
it
other that products!

watching this one with interest ;)

I am making a website in which users who wish to sell a product online must
pay a $15 registration fee, and $5 for each item they sell after that.  I
have never used PayPal before, and I am wondering how I could integrate
PayPal with my user database to store the number of listing "credits" that
each user has purchased automatically.

TIA,
David Bindel
