Hi Marco,
OK. I understand what you're saying now. The workflow I've always used has me presenting the details to the buyer on my own site, having them do the PayPal authentication and then letting them confirm the purchase on my end before I submit the payment. So, I've got control of the payment details etc in that case.
To be honest, I got maint on this module for a very minor fix, so I haven't delved that deeply into the code. I'd be open to a pull request to add the functionality you've described though. I say this without having looked at the internals to see what would be involved. ;)
Best,
Olaf
