Anyone ever managed to use it and if so maybe shed some light on how to send items to paypal and the pay and return back to my site with details of weather it was a sucessfull payment

Thanks.

This is called an IPN (instant payment notification) and paypal has lots of docs on it.

[Mr. Matt]

word of warning. VERY VERY hard stuff. But yea use the resources paypal has as that will be the best way, i don't know many tutorials that do it.

Paypal has plenty of documents and tutorials on how to use their IPN system (they also have a developers sandbox with a support forum).

This question has also been asked here before (since it's yet to be solved entirely, i'll leave this open, but please remember to use the forum search and google next time).

It's not VERY hard stuff, you just got to do it right

I do offer a variation of a paypal system tutorial on my sites forum.
At www.alteredillusionz.com.
It is a paypal membership tutorial and is in 4 parts listed under php tutorials.
Maybe this will help you out some.
