Not sure if this forum is even for PalPal..
Anyways, Lets say I have $100 in my PayPal, and $10 in my bank account. If I make a purchase of $110 on PalPal through Ebay, would PayPal take $100 out of my balance and then $10 from my bank..or would they immediately try to take $110 out of my bank account?
PayPal will deduct the amount you have in your PayPal account from the total and you will only need to bill the remainder to your account.

We want to enable customers to get discounts through our website. I'm curious whether we can support a discount flow when a customer pays with venmo, specifically.
The situation: a customer comes with a $10 discount to our marketplace website. The $10 discount is paid for by the site, and not the merchant. The customer finds a merchant that they like, and the two agree upon a sticker price of $100. The customer should therefore pay $90, and the merchant should earn $100.
Is it possible to ensure that the customer pays $90, and the merchant earns $100?
No details on the venmo / paypal integration page whether it would be possible to send the merchant $10 separately

To send money to the merchant separately you would need to use a solution like Payouts or Hyperwallet.
I am interested in using Adaptive Payments API to setup a simple service site where I act as an agent between a seller and a buyer.
Lets say the buyer purchases a product for $100, I take a $20 cut and the $80 goes to the seller. Now lets say the buyer is unhappy and wants a refund.
How does the system actually work this, with myself holding the Paypal business account if I issue a refund will it refund both my $20 and the $80 from the sellers account? Or does the buyer have to request a refund from the seller directly?
Thanks
The seller need to grant you with permission to make a refund on behalf of him, so that you could call the Refund API . You may refer to the below page for more details .

I want to set up a button on one of my sites where I sell a product for $100 I want the transaction to split the $100 automatically, $80 to the suppliers PayPal account and $20 to my PayPal account.
How can this be achieved
You would do this via Adaptive Payments via parallel payments. You can apply for it on developer.paypal.com
What are the fees when using authorize and capture?
For regular payment I think the fee is 3.4% + 0.30$
Is that works the same way for authorize and capture?
Is there also fee for re-authorize?
Is there also fee for void?
Is there additional fee for multiple captures?
What happens if I did authorization for 500$ but eventually captured only 100$? the 3.9% are deducted from 500$ or 100$?
I know it's a lot of questions but hopefully I can get some answers.
Thanks!
For PayPal account payments all fees are the same whether using auth/capture or not. Feed apply to captures, no auth fees, so in your example you would pay fees on $100, not $500.
But this type of info should be easily (and more reliably) obtained from PayPal's website or sales staff.
PayPay charge fee only on the money they take - so no fee for authorize and fee only for the amount that was captured.
I understand that Paypal's MassPay can be used to, as a business, quickly make payments to multiple people. I also understand that the business sending the mass payment is responsible for the transaction fees, and that the recipients of the payments are not charged any further fees.
I am curious if it's possible to utilize MassPay to account for revenue shares / commissions when a buyer purchases a product through an eCommerce application.
For instance: my application allows users to buy and sell products. My business keeps 20% of every sale, and the seller receives the remaining 80%.
A seller sells a product for $100 to a buyer through my application. My business should receive $20, and the seller should receive $80. The buyer completes the checkout / purchase process by making a $100 payment through Paypal. My application has MassPay configured in a way that will send $20 of that $100 to my business's Paypal account, and the other $80 of that 100$ to the seller's Paypal account.
Is such a thing even possible?
if the answer is yes…
How will this appear in the Paypal accounts (activity / transaction history) of the buyer, the seller, and my business?
What if the buyer has a problem with the product they purchased, and they open a dispute with Paypal? Will they have to open a dispute for one transaction ($100), or two ($80 and $20)?
Because the buyer is the person making this mass payment, will they be charged additional fees in some way? Will those fees need to be factored into their purchase cost during the checkout process?
Thanks in advance.
You can absolutely use masspay to send "contingent" payments like rev shares and commissions; in fact this is the product's most common usage. It was built for that.
You may also be able to use PayPal products like chained or parallel payments to create multi-link payment flows.
In most cases you want payments to flow along with responsibilities/agreements. For example if I buy something (e.g. a t-shirt) I don't want to make multiple payments to supply chain members; I want to buy the shirt from someone and pay them, and it is their responsibility to take it from there; they may then owe a commission to someone (or to 10 different parties, I don't care), or they may owe a supplier (or a bunch of them)... not my problem.
So I strongly urge you to decide what model you want: is someone buying a product from you, and you will pay a supplier? is someone buying a product from a seller, and the seller will owe you a commission for providing the customer through your marketplace? Then set up your payment flows accordingly.
In the former case (ecommerce store) masspay is an excellent fit: the customer pays you and then you masspay (on a per-transaction or aggregated basis) payments to your suppliers. The buyer only sees the payment they are party to, which is their payment to you. Any dispute is between you and your buyer.
In the latter case (marketplace) the customer pays the full (total including commission) price to your sellers. Then you don't need to push a payment to your sellers but rather to collect a payment from them, so you would likely use invoicing or a billing agreement to collect your commissions.
