UX Fail - Adding tracking to PayPal sale after it's no longer in recent activity
Maybe PayPal does this on purpose, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot, but I just cannot find a way of adding postage tracking numbers to a PayPal sale after it no longer shows on the "Recent Activity" list on your home page.

Using PayPal PHP SDK on Google App Engine
The PayPal SDK makes it really easy to integrate with PayPal. Unfortunately, the out of the box examples are not designed to work with Google App Engine. Since the PayPal PHP SDK writes to the local file system it will not work without a few configuration changes. Luckily these changes are minor.

Create an e-Commerce web site in one day with Bootstrap, PayPal and PHP
I had an idea for a website a couple of weeks ago. It was a very simple concept - you write a text note up to 140 characters in length, pay for it and it gets sent anonymously on an A6 sized postcard anywhere around the world. The product was simple, the implementation of the site even simpler. Using modern technologies, implementing an e-Commerce web site is almost trivial. This article will show how I managed to take my idea from a concept to a fully functional e-Commerce web site in one day.

A quick start with the PayPal PHP SDK for the REST API
PayPal's REST APIs are a very easy way to add e-Commerce functionality to your web project. There is a PHP SDK available for it, and there is a very good API Samples site that covers just about anything you would want to do with the SDK. However something that I thought was missing from this documentation was how to create your PayPal App and Sandbox accounts as well as the autoload.php file that's references but never actually included in the package.

Unauthorised PayPal transactions and credit card fraud
It all started one of the mornings for me. The bank sent me a strange TXT message asking me to confirm a transaction for $0.73 on my credit card. I couldn't be sure that TXT was from the bank so logged into my online banking and lo and behold I see pending transactions that should not have been there. Now I got suspicious.
