Can anyone tell me whether a PayPal transaction generates or includes an enrolment key with the confirmation e-mail to the student?
Or must the key be provided to the student manually outside of the PayPal transaction?
Thanks!
Does PayPal generate enrolment key?

Think I answered my own question - answer is no, because student is automatically enroled if PayPal transaction is successful...so student has access immediately without further ado.
Neat!

Does the participant/student told this after the Paypal transaction completes succesfully? eg, is an email sent to them saying "you now have access"...and/or does an online web transaction say "success! you can access now!" or something like that?
Furthermore, is it evident to the user that she/he has no access due to a failed Paypal transaction?
(I'm scoping this out because I know I want to use this in my business stuff but I have yet to try it out.)

The student is taken to the course homepage upon payment.
And, yes.
If you want to try it for yourselves go to http://test.moodle.com and pay for the Pay for Access course (fee is $2 US). This is a good way to see how it works while at the same time making a little donation to Moodle
.

Right.
And as I understand it, the administrator can elect to set the system to automatically generate enrolment notification e-mails to the student, and/or the teacher, and/or the administrator.
The student should be aware of any failure, if for no other reason than that they cannot access the course. (I expect, though, that they'd get a hint from PayPal before then...)

Note that test.moodle.com is no longer providing Paypal testing because we're using it for other development now.
