PayPal SDK
Perhaps I’ve just been living in a cave for the past couple years, but I had no idea that PayPal had a software development kit for including online payments on your own site. There’s even a sandbox site that developers can use to build and test their PayPal solutions securely but with fake data (no more sending yourself one cent over and over again to test). How cool is that?

What, you didn't know about this???
I've acutally used it on a website that I maintain for a music artist friend of mine (jude Cole: http://judecole.com) to process online orders. It's not much of a store at the present (only 1 CD available
, but the paypal stuff integrated pretty easily. It's not perfect, but it's reasonable and free. At the time though, they didn't have a sandbox site to test with, which would have been nice to have at the time.

Pretty sweet. I'm thinking about integrating PayPal with a site I'm working on now, so I may send you an e-mail sometime for help on it.
