Hello:
I have a website that I am trying to set an automatic payment request linked to my Paypal account.
I'll explain in detail below:
I am running a penny auction website that uses PHP. One of the features that I want to offer
on my website is a 'Sell Back' feature which allows the winner of an item to automatically
sell the item back to me at a discount. It's a win, win. For example. Let's say that the winner
has just won a $500 ipad for $20. The 'sell back' feature will allow the winner the option to
sell me back the ipad at a 10% discount and minus the cost of the auction which in this example
is $20. So this winner would get paid $430 (which is minus the 10% = $50, and minus the cost
of the auction, which is $20). We have the script all set to make the feature work but the issue
that we are having deals with Paypal. Whenever someone has decided that they want to use
the 'sell back' feature they will click on a 'Confirm' button. When they click on the 'Confirm'
button I would like it to automatically send a payment request to my Paypal account for the
amount of the 'Sell Back'. All of my members have their Paypal email addresses on file so isn't
there a way to set this feature? It seems like it would be an easy feature to set.
My developer actually has it set right now so that when the member clicks on the 'Confirm' button
it will automatically make the payment out of my Paypal account but I don't want it to automatically
make the payment. I would like to confirm the payment first.
Thank You
David
