How about an alert when a payment comes in via PP on site. Maybe a "$" icon similar
to when we get a new BL message.

We pack from the oldest payment first as these come in their is no way to keep
track of that. Maybe a time they were paid could be displayed or another way
to know when paid.

Cool idea, personally I have my Paypal emails sent to my phone, each time I get
a Paypal payment my text tone goes off which is a cash register noise, makes
me happy anyway

That is cool - an audio treat rather than a visual one!

Now what exactly has changed
'before' you would send an invoice with either you PP e-mail or a link.
Buyer pays, PP send a notification to 'warn' you, you login to PP, check
the payment and set the order on Bl to 'paid'
'now' you have a 'pay' button, you invoice the buyer, the buyer
clicks 'pay', PP sends you a notification, and sends a message trough
the PP/BL-API to put the order in 'paid' status, you login to PP, check
the payment and you don't need to do a thing on BL...
Not much has changed, I really don't see why all of a sudden people wanna
change something to the whole system that has worked fine for years on Ebay/Amazon/BO
and thousands of other websites using this method...

Oh, and I strongly recommend *if* you're using the 'PP onsite' method,
to remove any payment details (or payment links) from your invoices... just use
the 'pay' method and problem solved

No change sparked my suggestion.

I have a buyer from last night that needed their order rushed and chose PP onsite.
They haven't paid yet. Rather than checking PP to see if payment showed up,
it would be nice to get a little visual alert on BL.

Just check you order overview and if the status says 'paid' then it's
paid
Or check your regular inbox to find out if PP send you a notification...

If a buyer is really in a hurry, presumably they would pop you a message anyway
saying: 'hey I paid, why isn't this shipped yet'

I don't really believe in 'rush orders' anymore, most buyers then
take 24-48 (or more) hours to pay and then suddenly *you* need to rush Doesn't
mean I wouldn't do the effort to get it out asap, but the asap starts when
I notice the order has been paid for, not when the buyer requested me a fast
invoice
