I have read documentation about Authorization and Capture process , i have something similar to, Case 1:
1-Your buyer orders a camera from your website.
2-Your buyer enters payment information and authorizes payment.
3-Send your buyer to PayPal using a hosted flow, specifying the variable paymentaction=authorization
4-PayPal initiates the authorization.
5-On day 29, you ship the camera and capture funds.
But something similar can happen, Case 2:
1-Your buyer orders a camera from your website.
2-Your buyer enters payment information and authorizes payment.
3-Send your buyer to PayPal using a hosted flow, specifying the variable paymentaction=authorization
4-PayPal initiates the authorization.
5-On day 25 due some reasons (customer had cancel his reservation for example) i void authorization.
When paypal charge his commission in Case 1 and Case 2? If i void an authorization for a customer without capture money, paypal charge anyway his commission in transaction?
The transaction fee should be on the Capture since that's when PayPal will know the amount that's actually being moved from one person to another. As far as I know there isn't a fee for voiding an authorization since there was no actual money moved in the first place.

I am using the PayPal Rest API to implement PayPal into my website. The flow for my site is below.
Users selects PayPal to pay
Create payment in code
Send to PayPal to approve
Sent back to Step 2 of my order process
User can update the shipping method or apply a coupon code
User Submits the order
As you can see the amount and details of my order can be changed after I create the initial payment in Step 2 of my process. Also a user could update items/amounts on their order as well.
How do I update the transactions of a payment after it gets approved?
you should use Payment authorization:
PayPal Authorization & Capture is a settlement solution that provides increased flexibility in obtaining payments from buyers. During a traditional sale at PayPal, the authorization and capture action is completed simultaneously. PayPal Authorization & Capture separates the authorization of payment from the capture of the authorized payment.
Authorization & Capture is for merchants who have a delayed order fulfillment process and who typically make a $1 USD authorization at checkout. It enables merchants to modify the original authorization amount due to order changes (such as taxes, shipping, or item availability) that occur after the buyers place the initial order. This chapter discusses the authorization and capture process and provides steps to help you authorize, capture, reauthorize, and void funds.
Paypal doc
you need to impelemnt instant update callback:
Here is how the Instant Update API works
When a buyer logs in to PayPal, the PayPal server calls your callback server with the buyer's default shipping address, which is stored in the PayPal system.
Your callback server responds with the shipping options available for that address, along with any insurance options and tax adjustments on the order.
PayPal displays this information in the cart review area so buyers can choose from the options.
The buyer's final choices are returned in the GetExpressCheckoutDetails response.

hope this helps you
I've tried PayPal payment standard, Website Payments pro for authorization and capture of payment. But what i need is authorize payment and capture it. But not all captured amount should transferred to my account. Instead some of my website fee should be deducted and that deducted amount should be added to my account. And receiver gets payments only when they send me a request to release their fund. My system works as like "User add any gift which he/she wants. His well wisher purchase the gift and pay through PayPal for it.After that admin will capture the fund and then amount should be transferred to user until admin wants. But the problem is that all balance is transferred to admin's account."
Please steer me in right direction. Thanks.
Paypal documentation says:
You can capture funds, which is a request to process the payment your buyer authorized. If successful, the capture moves funds from your buyer's account to your PayPal account.
You can also reauthorize, which offers you a new honor period for your authorization.
Finally, you can void the authorization, which removes your ability to capture funds on the authorization, and returns PayPal balance funds to the buyer if applicable.
Note: If the capture is performed outside the honor period, there is a possibility the funds will not be available at that time.
How long woulld a merchant receive the funds after the capture moves funds from your buyer's account to your PayPal account?
PayPal capture (and sale transactions) instantly transfer money between the PayPal accounts involved. [Except for a few edge cases which can result in pending transactions, such as payments held for merchants who have not yet signed up, or who need to tell PayPal whether to release the funds in the payment currency or convert the payment to the merchant's default currency, etc.]
Note that this means the money instantly moves to the merchant's PayPal account; there will then be some delay involved in withdrawing these funds to an external bank account, if the merchant chooses to do that.
Do you mean a delayed capture transaction through a payment gateway? I didn't think paypal itself did delayed capture so I assume you mean through payflow pro? Or Paypal Advanced (which I understand is basically just a merchant account).
The funds will transfer basically instantly but there can be a delay for the funds to make their way from your acquirer / merchant bank to your bank account (settlement time / settlement period). If that's what you mean it should be about 1-3 days for the funds to be deposited into your bank account (each acquirer / merchant bank will have a different time-frame that you can find out by asking them or through their website).
Let us assume that some money is deposited to the admins account when a user signups . Now the same user when goes to buy a item he gets some kind of discount for ex:- the item he wants to buy costs $500 but he gets $100 discount so he has to pay only $400 . Now the remaining $100 will be diposited from admins account to the sellers account . so the seller gets $400 from buyer and $100 from admin in a single transaction .
Is it possible in Paypal ? Your ideas/suggestions would be helpful. Please do it.
Currently there is no single API call that would do what you are looking for. You could code it where you accept the payment and then make a 2nd payment out to the seller. You could even look into Chained Payment Adaptive Payments for part of it (You are the primary receiver and accept the payment and then chain most of that payment over to the secondary receiver).
You should be able to do this with PayPal adaptive payments, using parallel payment. It is the same as chained, except there is no primary leg. All the payment legs would have the same receiver, 6 is total number of receivers in the parallel case.
To reverse if either fails: reverseAllParallelPaymentsOnError to true
How do you intend to authorize the payment? If you are using the admins credentials to make API call this might work. Buyer explicitly approves payment, admin (since his credentials) implicitly approves payment.
I have stuck into the problem of related to transfer amount back to credit card from paypal when user cancel his/her transaction. I don't want to use paypal refund feature in our application. My client requires to send back amount at the same time when user cancel his/her transaction.
Can anyone guide me to complete this feature or is there any API to solve such type of feature.
Thanks in advance.

How PayPal Refunds
You don't want to use PayPal's refund feature, but you want to send money back to the buyer? This is called a refund. I am sure you are mistaking how PayPal refunds money. If the user pays with a credit card, they are refunded to their credit card. If they pay with a bank account or PayPal account, they are refunded to their PayPal account.
API calls that refund buyers
DoNonReferencedCredit would refund to a credit card you specify, everytime, and you do not need a transaction ID.
In a scenario where the buyer no longer has a card that was
associated with a transaction, or the time allotted for a refund in
PayPal has passed, you would want to use the DoNonReferencedCredit
API.
RefundTransaction would refund the funding source as described in the "How PayPal Refunds" paragraph.
If your main concern is to issue a refund, via API, you have a transaction ID (you say a payment has been completed so you should have a transaction ID), AND PayPal's refund time has not passed, you should use the RefundTransaction API.
You might be able to use something like DoNonReferencedCredit from the paypal API - but I'm not 100% sure on that.
