That's not entirely correct: PayPal's interface does permit the merchant 
to specify a URL to which PayPal will transfer control once the business 
at PayPal's site is concluded. If the user cancels the transaction at 
PayPal, that won't happen, of course, but if he completes the 
transaction, PayPal will send him back to whatever URL the merchant 
supplied to PayPal as the "return address".
