There are some utilities out there to help you with the integration.
Using the Buy Now, you would send over a success_url or failed_url (I
think that is correct)
which would be a page within your website. Thus, you can take the
appropriate actions as needed.

Subject: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow

Anyone ever have this issue when integrating a Buy Now button from
Paypal?

I have a site where a user posts a listing for an item, say a shirt.
They are also allowed to upload 3 images for that item. I'm charge a
listing fee that equals a percentage of the asking price of that item
(say 5%). 

Once the user fills out the details, and uploads the images, they go to
the review page. If they approve it, they are sent to Paypal, where thay
pay the listing fee, then are returned to my site.

However, how can I make sure that they've completed the Paypal
transaction, since their item has already been posted? I'm trying to
figure out a way that their item won't be posted until after they've
completed the Paypal transaction. Would session variables still work
after they've left my site, gone to Paypal, and come back?

Thanks
R
