Did you think of saving the information (invoice number) in a session or cookie before sending them off to paypal, for use when the user returns?

That's true....I didn't even think of that. Not a cc number, but, say, an invoice number that the person starts with before they go off to paypal and return from paypal with the same invoice number so that I can then do more things with the user (the invoice number being unique).

Thanks,

Might be easier to use session vars to track whatever it is your tracking.

Does anyone know if it is possible to pass a variable in the URL to the return page when using paypal?
Meaning, when someone is done a transaction in paypal and they
return the
merchant's site, can a variable be passed all of the way
through back to the
merchant's site?

Not in the URL.
Read the PayPal docs, they post back a form to the return page. Most of what you're looking for will be there, otherwise there are a few custom fields you can use (for say an invoice number).
