is it possible in uber delivery to use the uber user information to authenticate and bill.
I do not wish to manage the delivery but would like to offer the option for regular uber user to get a delivery using their own account and billed directly.
Yes, see the three legged oauth guide for the deliveries api: https://developer.uber.com/docs/deliveries/guides/three-legged-oauth

I am looking to integrate the Uber API in my app. I understand Uber allow to provide the booking option with in the app however is it possible to collect the payment in my own app for the rides? Can I collect the payment in my account, how would I transfer further to Uber, if possible or it would be credited to Uber Only? How the complete payment workflow works from third party applications.
Just wondering if there is any possible way for this and someone has any idea about the same. Thanks in advance!
No, it is not possible to collect payment directly for Uber Rides. It is against the API terms of service to attempt to collect any per ride fee. See our affiliate program for more details about earning with the Uber API.
All the users on my site have a personal account. I would like to add paypal as a payment method to fund a user account. Upon a fund the user account will be credited so he will be able to pay for the services I provide. Is it possible?
Yes, this is possible you can write a script that after the users payment several lines of code get executed that activates your service and credits your account.
The easiest way of doing this is by using a payment provider that sits between paypal and your site. They can deliver you directly the scripts and API you need.
Ofcourse you can also make them yourself. Not sure if the PayPal API already includes this functionality.
I hope that this is of any help
Paypal provides an API to integrate and customize its payment platform to your website.
For starters this limk will give you a breakdown on what you can do with the api.

I have a Java application that has just been updated with e-commerce features that use the Paypal REST API (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/).
I have multiple customers who run this application, each of them can log in to their own admin panel and manage their store and other features.
The Java client for Paypal REST API is working, I have tested it in the Sandbox of my own Paypal account and also in the live environment.
Question: Will each customer have to go into their Paypal account and activate the REST API to generate their key/secret for use in the Java app or is their a way for me to pay multiple PP acounts from the App/key/secret that is already active for my own PP account?
The only thing the Java app is doing with the PP API is creating and executing a payment.
If each customer has to create their own key/secret is there a quick way for them to do this from their PP admin panel? Currently the only way I know is to go into the developer.paypal.com section of the site, which doesn't seem very intuitive for a non techy.
At this time the PayPal REST API does not support third party payments in that way. The customer would need to use developer.paypal.com as you suggested to get their own PayPal REST credentials.
You can collect money and send it out using your own REST credentials but this would make you the liable receiver for the purchase.
PayPal has solutions outside of the REST API that might work for you here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/marketplace-split-payments/
The Classic API does have a subject option, the subject is the third party. You do need permissions for some of the API calls; however, the permissions API can ease that process.
I'm in third-party applications (like PA), now want to join up ebay, so need to paypal user authorization. Such as user already through paypal give me the authorization of the API (Add New Third Party Permissions), How to through the user's paypal account, I get the user is authorized to me?
PayPal has lots of different APIs depending on what you're after. I would take a look at this for a list of all the Classic APIs, which are what you would use when working with a client who has granted API permissions for you.
For more details about the different PayPal products which utilize the individual APIs you can view the integration guides.
I am looking at building a product that integrates with PayPal new REST API. I can't find any information on connecting to other PayPal users accounts to make requests on their behalf. All I can find suggests that all of my users will have to login to developer.paypal.com and create their own App, and plug those credentials into the product I am building.
It seems like their should be a way to authenticate to a user's account and make requests on their behalf. Is there?
PayPal does have a way to authorize a third party to make calls on another party's behalf. There is even an API that can do this. The most straightforward way is for you to provide them your API username and they authorize you to run calls on their behalf and you call with their email address as a parameter (at least in Classic, REST may have a different method)
PayPal has a guide to all this on the Developer page (it's too extensive to excerpt).
