How do I automatically pay users using paypal in my rails app?

Question

Hey all, I'm trying to write a marketplace style application. Maybe E-Bay style in which the app connects buyers / sellers and then takes some commission.

I cannot use Amazon FPS as I don't have a US credit card. So my best option is probably paypal. Unfortunately, most of the material out there is all about telling me how the app can sell stuff.

I've heard I can payout using Paypal's mass pay system? If so, does anybody have any suggestions as per integrating this with my rails app. e.g. can it be done with ActiveMerchant?
