I haven't done the first, but I have done the second.  We do it the 
other way around from what you are describing.  When a person 
subscribes, we send them to paypal for payment.  When the paypal success 
call comes through, we mark them subscribed to whatever issues they have 
paid for.  From there we don't have to ask paypal, we just query our own 
database on each resource access attempt.
