O.k, lets make some order.
Paypal method one: "Add to cart+checkout". This is not what Iam talking about! (In that method you have to set up products at paypal then put the code in your site. For that method you will have to put the code in a custom field for each product but this is not something we're doing now..)
Paypal : Buy now: customer click and goes to pay at paypal.
It is simple and dynamic!. you don't have to setup any product at paypal. It takes the form that you have shown, take dynamically the product name, product price and open for you a page with the product details and that is it.
First, I do not see why you have to delete and replace the "form" with some java to use it.
Second, you do not have to put it in a custom field because nothing changes there beside the
product name and product price which there you use tokens.
Place this form somewhere in the body of your view.html file and add those tokens for name and price exactly like you did in the screenshot.
Make sure you copied correctly the names of the custom fields.
Also I suggest you will try with the basic form paypal is giving and then add features.
let us know.

| I'm interested to see if you have this working or you need something from me, I'm starting to get a lot of requests about this, a lot of people want a "pay per listing" model. |

My site allows users (content owners) to actually sell their stuff. They can post free listings (not necessarily real estate items), they can also post commercial listings and get paid for their content. What I want is an input field where users can put all the paypal code. It would be great if you can make a paypal input field. The field should be able to generate the following code (that's what I use to sell single item within dotnetnuke):
=======================================================================
< INPUT type=hidden value=_xclick name=cmd>< INPUT type=hidden value=paypalaccount@youremail.com name=business>< INPUT type=hidden value=ItemName name=item_name>< INPUT type=hidden value=1001 name=item_number>< INPUT type=hidden value=39.00 name=amount> < INPUT type=hidden value=USD name=currency_code>< INPUT type=hidden value=US name=lc>< INPUT onclick="document.getElementById('Form').action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';document.getElementById('Form').target='_blank'" type=image alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" src=" http://www.mysite.com/PayPalPurchase.gif" border=0 name=submit> =======================================================================
The users should be able to fill in the fields with their own paypal info.

| As opposed to putting it directly in the template? I was more talking about pay for listing, but I can see how selling items is important as well. |

What I have in mind is something like a paypal token that when needed can be placed in the template. Too me only users (content contributors) can make money first site owners can make money ( getting paid for listing). In order to encourage quality content providers we give them the option of getting paid for some of their content/information is a way to go.
So even though pay for listing is desired but it's the step2 to me. |

I think eventually, the ultimate goal of condensing the submit property fields for users and the ability to add a field specific to PayPal is excellent. Similar to how eBay has adapted the system in which you can checkout. I would say the same for News Articles, in which the "Create Article" page should be somehow editable in terms of aesthetics. So Property Agent has definitely taken some great steps up since that last time I've tinkered with it.
As for paying for a listing, we should adapt what something like eBay (although it may be quite complex) has done. Keep in mind that paying per listing is quite a huge hit on PayPal fees as each transaction is quite costly as PayPal takes a base price as well as a % of the total transaction. So something like a monthly statement, etc. would be ideal, but this stems another issue, in that without having fields in which users can add their "Credit Card" information in, and without administrators having Merchant Accounts, this will not be realistic. The end result would be having tons of customers use the service and eventually not pay for it.
What I believe might contribute to the success ratio of users paying for their monthly statements, would be in the active use of it. It is obvious I suppose.. With buyers interested, sellers will be likewise, so their retention to the site will be greater and the reputation of his account will be not simply a login control, but an asset to his business.
Proposing a feedback system may be logical for many reasons.. For security of the marketplace - even though we are not middlemen in any transactions, having a feedback system (per account, accumulated through transactions) will help buyers shop wisely. For functionality - it adds to the interaction and customization of the site, thus providing a possible better attachment rate to unique users (and buyers too). As iterated above, making buyers and sellers having a form of reputation promotes active use. By actively being a user, one must maintain their account balances and maintain good feedback. Digg.com is a pure example of this bliss in action, with ladderboards creating bragging rights, etc., and even articles with lots of diggs can be something to be proud over.
My 2 cents. Let me know your thoughts everyone.. Of course this is looking at the PayPal integration at a much larger scale and deserves to have a thread of its own, but I figured I'd pop it here first. |

I guess I've made the paypal working in a very simple way (single item).
I created several custom fields which include necessary information for paypal processing (email, price, etc). Then I placed the tokens of the custom fields into the template input fields. It works.

| Those are some good thoughts, I think implementing the paypment system is first (to satisfy real estates, etc) and the next goal would be an optional rating/feedback system on the agent/vendor. |

There is a fantastic new module called ActivePurchase available soon. It'll be fantastic if one could get the cart of ActivePurchase updated / populated from your module. Maybe you can talk with Will about possible integrations? |

Cheers, Philipp
