SplendidCRM 3.0 Enterprise has the ability to integrate with PayPal.  You can configure your PayPal merchant account to send notifications to your SplendidCRM site and have all transactions automatically inserted into the CRM.  You get full account, contact, order and invoice information, including the ability to match line items with products in your catalog.  SplendidCRM also allows you to import old PayPal transactions, so if you have been using PayPal for years, you can easily bring in all that data.  Of course, the reason you would want to do this is to simplify the effort of sending email newsletters or announcements to all your old customers.
