PayPal Garage Sale Point of Sale system

So I am about to have a garage sale and want to accept credit cards so people can’t say they don’t have money so I search all over the internet and there is nothing in the form of a POS for paypal users. So what do I do I create a down and dirty one using a simple Batch file.

Check out the code below.

Title Yard Sale Pyapal Check Out
@echo off
cls
set /p ItemNo=Item No:
set /p ItemName=Item Name:
set /p Price=Price:
pause

echo ^<form target=”paypal” action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post”^>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_xclick”^>^<input type=”hidden” name=”amount” value=”%Price%”^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=” you@your.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it “^>>>Ou
t.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”%ItemName%”^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”item_number” value=”%ItemNo%”^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”www.divepa.com/thanks.html”^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”hidden” name=”cbt” value=”Continue”^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<input type=”image” src=”cart.jpeg” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”button”^>^</form^>>>Out.htm
echo ^<br^>^<br^> >>out.htm
echo You are purchasing item: %ItemName% for %Price% if you agree click the cart above and complete your transaction >>out.htm

pause
start /max “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” Out.htm

All you do is copy the above code into a notepad file and save the file as paypal.cmd then double click it and fill in the blanks. Make sure you change the email field first to your paypal email account.
