| Hi all, I have noticed lately as a buyer and seller that the system is generating
a request for an invoice to be created rather than letting the person purchase
directly via PayPal. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

The two aren't mutually exclusive. A seller can create an invoice, and the
buyer can then use the Pay Onsite method to pay through PayPal.
At what point in the buying process do you see the request for an invoice?

The buyer requests to purchase the item and instead of being sent to paypal to
finish the process, the buyer is sent a notice that an invoice will be generated
for the purchase by the seller.

That's normal. Once the seller creates an invoice and sends it to the buyer,
the buyer can click the Pay button to pay through PayPal.
There are 2 main ways that a buyer can be invoiced:
1. The store the buyer makes a purchase from has Instant Checkout. In that case,
the seller has set up shipping options to automatically assign a cost to orders,
so the invoice is there right away, and the buyer can pay right after he clicks
the Submit Order button.
2. The store does not have Instant Checkout (or the particular order does not
qualify for it.) In that case, the seller must manually create an invoice for
the buyer. Once the buyer has it, he can pay through PayPal.
In both scenarios the buyer pays through PayPal. In the Instant Checkout method,
the order placement and payment are one right after the other and thus seem like
one process, whereas in the manual invoice method, the order is placed, and the
length of time between that and payment is dependent on the speed of the seller
sending an invoice and then the speed of the buyer paying for the order.
Hope this helps,
David

This is almost exact.
It's just missing the Maintenance guy, 403 Forbidden, "Something went
wrong" and PayPal error cases
