I'm trying to setup the paypal billing system and I have the following questions:

1.  I paid $2.10 and I have a receipt from paypal to prove it, but when I clicked the check paypal payment from my account, it only said I paid $2.00.  Does this not work with cents?

2.  Is there a way to automate the processing of this, it didn't deposit the money until I clicked the check paypal payment?  I waited for the auction cron job to run and that didn't make a difference.

3.  Where does the e-mail on the aypal@auctionwebsite.com">paypal@auctionwebsite.com account go after it is processed.  I looked at it through webmail and it is gone, is there a way to keep it, like move it to a different folder or forward to a new e-mail address after it is processed?

4.  The paypal help says that once the user submits the payment through the paypal screens they will be provided with a link back to the money manager to check the payment, however the link on the paypal page simply linked me back to the main auction page.

Thanks for any help on answering these questions.

Ok, after doing some investigation it appears that the paypal link back to the website will submit this which I got from viewing the source:

Which isn't correct because the & has been replaced with &, so I suppose that is causing problems.  Any way to fix that?  Also I now see in the code that the e-mail is getting deleted after being processed.  I understand why, but I guess I would still like to keep it around, but I can always view the paypay payment history.  I still don't understand why the amount is leaving off the cents after viewing the code.

Ok, I fixed the cents problem.

In the merchant.pm file find the sub "sub Get_Paypal_Payments"

replace the following line:

if ($Temp =~ m/(\d+)/) {

with

if ($Temp =~ m/(\d+\.\d+)/) {

The way the code is currently written it will only find the numbers infront of the decimal point, this fix resolves the problem.  I suggest this should be patched.

Thanks for the info and fix. The above code will find only the decimal amounts but it wil not find the integer amounts.

Here is the fix for the above bug:

Change the code to:

if ($Temp =~ m/(\d+\.?\d*)/) {

about line 503 in the file Merchant.pm, this file will be updated and uploaded to your My Account.

What about the link problem and how could I automate the process, so I don't have to depend on the user clicking the check payment button?
