A PayPal module has not been created simply because the structure of
PayPal is difficult to integrate with Interchange.  Major design changes
will need to be made in the way that Interchange handles payment
processing in order to deal with the PayPal requirement that a customer
leave the site to go to PayPal, and then may or may not return.

I've put some work into this integration, but of course paying customers
will have to come first, which means that any work I do on a PayPal
module gets done as my time allows.
