I have added a web page to accept Paypal to an existing site which sells books. When the seller checks out, the shipping and tax are added. The problem is, now they want to additionally charge a fee for a conference registration and have no shipping or tax applied. How do I change the Paypal html coding on the page with buttons specifically set up for this registration charge to be added to their Paypal cart?

PayPal has an option called Authorize and Capture detailed in their developer section. The information I'm missing is if its possible to charge A&C to a customer who does not have a PayPal account, only a credit/debit card accepted by PayPal.
An random example of what I'm trying to accomplish:
The customer wants to buy tap water. The customer knows I charge $1/gal for the tap water, but doesn't know how much he can fill up. PayPal pre-authorizes his account, blocking $100. The customer tap is then active and the customer fills up 20gal = $20. The end and value of the operation is finished and sent to PayPal API to charge the customer $20 of the withheld $100 and send then $20 to me.
This seems to be possible for customers with an account, but is it also possible for unregistered users?
I am selling just one type of item on a website and I am using the Buy Now button from Paypal .. is there a way to change the postage cost for overseas customers? I have seen in Paypal you can change the postage depending on the value of the sale (for more than one item) but I can't see how to change the postage for overseas? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Within your PayPal account you can update the shipping methods to include international shipping methods. Just choose the option for International Shipping Methods.
From PayPal Documentation:
You can use PayPal to calculate shipping costs automatically on your website.
Here's how to set up shipping profile calculations:
Log in to your PayPal account.
Click the Business profile con beside the "Log out" button and select
Profile and settings.
Click Selling tools.
Click Update beside "Shipping calculations."
Click Start to set up your shipping region.
Set up one or more shipping methods and click Continue.
Enter your shipping information and click Create Another or Continue.
Review your information and click Save Shipping Methods.
Note:
Shipping rates depend on order amount, order weight, or item quantity. You can choose rates based on a fixed amount or a percentage.
You will not be able to use the PayPal Profile Shipping Calculator with Express Checkout and PayPal Payments Pro accounts. This functionality can only be used with PayPal Payments Standard accounts.
If your shipping methods require more customization, you may want to integrate PayPal with a third-party application. Go to our Developer Network at https://developer.paypal.com/ for information on integrating a third-party shopping cart or shipping application.
Note: Customers with a Personal account will need to upgrade to a Business account for this feature.

How can I setup my PayPal sandbox account with tax settings?
I would like to setup tax as per the tax at the bottom of this page.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/shipping/EasyCalculateShipAndTax-outside%20
I do not see these options in PayPal developer sandbox site setup.
What I would like to happen is PayPal works out that the billing address for the purchaser is in Australia, add 10% GST and then on the response, notifies me that 10% gst was applied (or the amount of other ways) so I can record that against the order and show it on the receipt.
Is paypal pro account needed? If so, I am also having problems making a pro account as outlined in this SO Question:
Cannot create a business-pro account in sandbox?
The shipping calculator in PayPal website applies only to Website Payment Standard Buttons(Buy now, add to cart etc). If you would like to pass tax in PayPal Express Checkout, you need to pass tax using API variables such as PAYMENTREQUEST_n_TAXAMT. You don't need PRO account to do this.
I've been working on a minimalist e-commerce website where I am trying to leverage Paypal's Add To Cart and View Cart buttons for the financial aspect of this website. However, I found out if you are not a U.S merchant you are restricted on Paypal's shipping calculator by not being able to calculate shipping by weight and region.
I am looking for alternatives to making a full e-commerce site, where the users do not have to register or type in their personal information or charge a fixed shipping rate for products.
I am curious on what everyone thinks regarding the user experience of a user entering their zip/postal code into an input box and being presented with a total price by estimated shipping prices (from UPS' API, Canada Post's API), and calculating taxes by region for each product. Otherwise, offer an option for the base product price plus a warning that the shipping and taxes are pending without specifying their zip/postal codes. If you have any other ideas, I would be glad to read them!
Thanks for your time!
That's what I typically recommend doing...gathering shipping directly from shipping carrier API's and then passing those values into the shopping cart / payment integration accordingly.
Any PayPal integration you choose would allow you to pass those details in be it Payments Standard, Express Checkout, Payments Pro, etc.
I need to integrate paypal into online store..
Requirements
- All credit cards (secure) details should be inputed on PayPal site
- User do not need paypal account
So there is couple ways of integration
Standart IPN - when you redirect
user to paypal site and he use his
(or create new) paypal account and
than redirected back to site
PayPal Payments Pro - user input his details including credit card number on my site(and I make payment using API)
But is there a way where I can redirect user to paypal site and he just input a credit card number and redirected back.. So user input just credict card number and that it is - he do not need a paypal account or fill any other fields.. Does it possible?
Stanard Paypal does offer you the ability pay via credit card without a paypal account

I am experiencing the same problem as you, and would like to put my findings on record. With Website Payments Standard, depending on which country your user selects, he/she may or may not need to create a PayPal account. These are the three most typical form submit buttons that he/she may encounter:
Case 1:
Review and Continue
No requirement to create an account
Countries: US, Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan
Case 2:
Continue
A so-called optional account is created for you, and you will need to register a PayPal account after 10 transactions.
You will only be able to use PayPal via PayPal Account Optional for up to [10] transactions before we will require you to open a PayPal
account with PPEL to enable further use of the PayPal system. At that
point you will be required to enter into our standard user agreement
to govern the ongoing relationship with PayPal.
Countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, United Kingdom
Case 3:
Agree and Create Account
You must create a PayPal account to transact.
Countries: Albania, Algeria, China, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Vietnam
Although most credit card processors require only the card number, card verification code and at most the card expiry date, PayPal requires that address and contact number be provided. I am not sure how PayPal is going to enforce the accuracy of such information without also being a card association. If you get what I mean.
