1. You want to pass this as a hidden form field, not as part of a querystring, and the price really
should be pull from a database so that "smart" users can not change the price.

2. You would have to use a server-side scripting such as ASP, ASP.net, PHP etc. to build this
following PayPal's instructions.

or

Just pass the product info and price, and then let the user fill-in their info on PayPal, which then
have a complete record for your to review.

There are a number of PayPal based shopping carts available for little or no cost. You can find link
to them on the PayPal site.
