I looked at this, but it appears to be designed to allow an individual
user send cash to other people; or check their balance. We cannot in
good conscience ask for people's paypal passwords, so we must go the other
route.

BTW, I have much of PayPal working, including interface to the "silent
post" for completion for orders. I just have to document it as an
Interchange extension. It is not suitable for a standard addition as
yet.
