What it does
PayPal Buy It Now adds a PayPal Buy Now button to audio, video and file items that have a price. The buyer pays the profile directly, into the profile's own PayPal account. The site takes no share and has no cart.
It's the simplest way to let members sell downloads. For a cart, a site share and payouts, use Payment Support instead.

Setting it up
- In Global Config, leave Live Transactions off to test with the PayPal sandbox. Turn it on when you're ready for real payments.
- In Quota Config, check Enable Buy Now for the quotas that may sell, and choose the Default Currency.
- Sellers enter their PayPal Email Address in their Profile Settings. Payments for their items go to that account.
Sellers then see a Buy It Now Price field on their audio, video and file items.

Buying
A visitor clicks Buy Now, pays at PayPal and returns to the site. They download the item from My Downloads, in their account. When they visit an item they already bought, they get a download link instead of the button.
