 * Am I right thinking that you just need to add your PayPal email in order for 
   this to work, or do you need also your Secure Merchant Account ID?
 * Did a test order and came up as Failed. Is Sandbox testing a requirement prior
   to go live?

 * You only need a paypal business account (and even that I’m not 100% sure about)
   and you should enter the main paypal account email address into the settings 
   page within eShop.
 * No you don’t need a Secure Merchant Account ID for eShop.
 * Sandbox testing isn’t a requirement – just makes it easier for me to test. You
   need a separate account within Paypal’s Sandbox to utilise it though.

 * Ok, thats great. Thanks for quick answer.
 * One more thing: then I wont be needing to turn on the ‘Payment Data Transfer’
   option in PayPal, nor (as I read you answered another post) I need to have Auto
   Return switched on, isnt it? Just my PayPal email, nothing else.
 * Did a purchase test, paid on PayPal, returned to my shop, but saw the order was
   listed in the ‘Failed’ section in eShop. Though in PayPal looks like is a accepted
   transaction. Any ideas as to why?

 * correct -you don’t need to change/set those settings at paypal.
 * failed oder – could be email address used isn’t the primary at paypal – or multi
   currency perhaps? Check the email that gets sent from eShop to you – see if there
   is anything in there that may help. feel free to forward me a copy if you want
   me to take a look.
