Hello everyone,

I've 2 questions, they are doozies too.

Client wants to sell his little online e-book for 5$/chapter, decided to go
with PayPal beceause well, no funds to spend on things like verisign and so
forth. (Yes I know about some of the horror stories of PayPal.)

First, I don't think you're able to re-direct the user back to a "thank you"
page after they've made the purchase.  So this leads to a problem, I've got
the e-book in question under a registration system, once you made the
purchase, the registration is already complete and you can now login and
read...that's the way I wish it was going to work but alas no.

Here's what I've done.

I've made an "instruction" screen that tells the user what to do. First go
to paypal, then once you've paid, you can register and go on your merry way.

As some of you may have already guessed this leads to a huge
problem...trust! So the script I am looking for does the following:

The user cannot click on link 2 until he clicks on link 1.

Again that still leaves the question of trust but right now that's the best
option I can come up with. I'm not too sure how I can track a user at a
different website and make sure she/he's going through the PayPal site.

Any feedback, ideas, ways to shoot myself in the foot would be appreciated.
