On the paypal site, under Merchant tools goto the Buynow and Shopping
Cart=20
pages and download the Manuals (PDF)

They have recently updated the buyer and shopping cart manuals and are=20
fairly straight forward to implement.

Also login to the paypal account and try the web developer tools area,=20
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=20
basic template along with the manuals to get it going.

If you need real-time stock then you'll need to implement the "Instant=20
Payment Notification" (IPN) methods rather than the basic buy/cart
options=20
- The link is in the other tools section of the Merchant Guide page
