I have not implemented paypal yet but just started reading the docs because I need to install a paypal payment option.
If I remember correctly - their developer page and samples is pretty clear. I thought I had seen an option where you simply send paypal the amount and some items and prices to their cart - the person pays and upon approval they send back a confirmation and allow you to have your visitor return to where ever you like. So basiscally you should be able to check their confirmation and send them to the appropriate download page - therefore your not sending it in the URL which would be incredibly unsecure and easy to bypass for any intermediate internet user.
