Even the simplest PayPal interface offers a return url (on your site) with
some validation codes you can capture that tell you the user has paid for
whatever the "deal" is.

Even without the PayPal API, you can construct a usable payment system.
There are a large number of resources not only on the PayPal developer site
but also on independent developer sites to provide sample code and help you
to get started. All you need to do is study it. SSL is not necessary.

You can sign up for the free paypal merchant account. It will return the
user to whatever page you like with the results of the transaction. You
create the account when it says OK.
