PayPal - Allow Your Customers to Pay with Credit Card

Testing Your Paypal Setup
Go to the public facing portion of your MarketGrabber website. Make a purchase. During this process you should be taken to Paypal to make your payment. Once you've made your payment you should be redirected back to your website (or Paypal will show a link to go back to your website). In your My Account Order History Page you should see your order. If not, please double check all of your Paypal account settings, especially the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) settings in your Paypal account.
