this is a theorical question dealing with combining ebay api and paypal ipn
selling items on ebay and getting paypal ipn
If I sell to a customer more than once I can not tell which order to add the paypal payment to
I can choose to add paypal payment to ebay order that is the oldest (but that order may be months old)
I can choose to add paypal payment to ebay order that is the newest (but that order may have a customer adding paypal for shipping on an older order)

or customer could have sent additional paypal to ship first bat
