I'm trying to find a way to do what eBay does where if someone hit's "Buy it Now" they make a payment to the third party using PayPal. With their ExpressCheckout API it only appears to be possible to have money deposited into the account for which the API credentials are held.
Does anyone know which API I need to be looking at? To clarify, we don't want to see the money... we merely need to verify that the exchange of money between both parties successfully occurred.
PayPal's ExpressCheckout API, but between 2 third parties

Ah, I was thinking far too complicated! Looking at all their APIs for eCommerce wasn't needed; it's just the bog standard "Buy Now" button:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/websc ... ew_outside
https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCente ... NowButtons
Just need to make sure the "notify_url" parameter is set to get the IPN.
