PayPal only sends IPN for accounts that are either premier or business. The merchant account that my client has is only a Personal PayPal account, and he has no intention to upgrade it.
Is there any way that PayPal can send notifications to my web application upon receiving payment, so that I may process the payments? Thanks in advance!

I have Paypal India Business account. I am using Express Checkout on my magento store and many customers are unable to make payment.
When they redirect to Paypal's billing page and pay via Paypal account they get
We can't complete your purchase at this time. Please return to merchant.
There are clients from US, UK and Australia. I talked to Paypal support and they said that there is no problem with my Paypal's account.
Please help me as I can't tell my customers to try out different things to make payments.
This will require a quick peek in the PayPal configuration and also the PayPal account , what is the website URL and PayPal account email address?
please also share the PayPal URL when the merchant is redirected to PayPal
We had a page set up to receive PayPal payments - it was still on testing/development, so we used a sandbox business account to receive payments.
Unfortunately, some users gained access to the page and successfully made payments. I logged into sandbox and found out that it successfully received the payments from non-sandbox accounts of real users.
I thought this would not be possible. So I tried it for myself - made a payment using my real PayPal account, and I was right - it did not work.
My question is: How was it possible that they were able to pay using their real account, but I couldn't? Second, since they paid to a sandbox account, was actual money deducted from their account? If yes, would refunding it from inside our sandbox business account work?
The only way I can think anybody could have completed the transaction using a "real" account is if they paid using a credit card through a Payments Pro integration. Are you using Payments Pro?
Any money paid to a sandbox account is fake, and no money would actually be transferred.

I have already created a 'paypal account' field on user profile as I definitely need a paypal account to send payments to I'm looking for the rest of the solution.
You can use MassPayment API or Implicit send money from Adaptive Payments.
Masspay API helps to send money from your PayPal account to multiple receivers.
Implicit Payments is that, in which your application is both the sender of a payment and the caller of the Adaptive Payments API. You would need to create a application at apps.paypal.com to acquire this feature.
What happens in the case the secondary receiver in my transaction doesn't have a Paypal account.
Will he receive a notification asking him to create a Paypal account, or will the API call not succeed?
I have little way to know if the user selling services has got a Paypal account when he registers to my platform.
Also, does it have to be a Business account in order to receive money, or can it be a personal account?
Freelancer mostly will be using this on a one-time basis.
Thanks a lot.
The application owner must have a PayPal Business account. Senders and (secondary) receivers are not
required to have PayPal accounts initially. PayPal prompts a sender to create
an account before a payment can be completed. A receiver must create an
account to receive the funds after the payment completes.
Also, GetVerifiedStatus API will help you determine what type of account the user has and if it is verified or not.
we have set up Paypal as a hook into an e-commerce application, where users just enter their paypal account, and we link their clients through to their Paypal account when buying products.
This works great, and paypal asks you to login to pay for your purchases.
But we don't want clients to be forced to create a paypal account, just to make a purchase.
Does website payments standard API actually support paying without a paypal account?
At the moment this is a real showstopper for us.
Check out PayPal Adaptive Accounts. You can create PP accounts for your users. The only step they'll have to complete at PayPal is creating a password. Once the account is created you might need send the user back through a checkout flow.
Adaptive Accounts
Use the Adaptive Accounts API to build applications that create and manage PayPal accounts. Merchants and developers can use the API to create PayPal accounts, add payment methods to accounts, and verify a PayPal account status.
Paypal is a very useful payment service gateway, exactly because the customer does not need to enter a credit-card number.
What we do, is offer Paypal as an option. We allow credit-card entry as well. In order to evaluate the credit-card for validity etc., we interface with the bank that supports our account and let their system do the checks. Another option would be "Cash on Delivery".
