What pitfalls await you for embedding some code in a webpage? Not
many, unless you make a gross mistake ;)

What pitfalls await your client regarding paypal? Well, I have read about
many horror stories in the past, but I *presume* they've lifted their
game. Most complaints arose out of unresolved disputes, and cases where
during those disputes, paypal locked out the customers/vendors account
and sometimes even sucked funds out of their bank account. This last
action would be fraud and/or theft and would have to be dealt with through
the courts. That said, I googled for "paypal problems" and suggest you
do the same. Here are a couple of links to get you and anyone else who
is interested on their way into paypal heaven or hell:
