There are a bunch of PayPal examples out there. The trick is the logic =
you
use.

You have to make a db table that stores the transaction and what you =
expect
it to be. Then you pass control to PayPal. THEN paypal will at some =
point
(maybe days later even) connect to a script/url you set up with your IPN
account and the completes the transaction. You can't think linear and
real-time. You have to build it with this extra delay in mind. And since =
you
can only connect to one form on a submit, this is the way it has to work
too.=20
