One way is to simply have a form post on your receipt.html page which
directs them to PayPal and passes as much or as little order info as
desired.

eg.
[if value mv_payment eq PayPal]
[tmp paypalamount][calc]sprintf('%.2f', [subtotal
noformat=1]);[/calc][/tmp]
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_ext-enter">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="some at emailaddress.com">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="[scratch paypalamount]">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="[salestax noformat=1]">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="[shipping noformat=1]">

.........form parameters optional i.e. address etc.
.......

<input type="image" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__pay_paypal.jpg" name="submit" alt
="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
[/if]
