On the paypal site, under Merchant tools goto the Buynow and Shopping Cart
pages and download the Manuals (PDF)

They have recently updated the buyer and shopping cart manuals and are
fairly straight forward to implement.

Also login to the paypal account and try the web developer tools area,
there are a number utilities there.

I initially used the sites button and cart tools to create dummy Buy Now
buttons, then looked at HTML to see what it was posting and used these as a
basic template along with the manuals to get it going.

If you need real-time stock then you'll need to implement the "Instant
Payment Notification" (IPN) methods rather than the basic buy/cart options
- The link is in the other tools section of the Merchant Guide page
