Create the PayPal buttons in BV. Then, Right click on the button created by BV. Select HTML, Inside Tag, and paste this:
><input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" value= http://www.yourdomain.com/page_to_continue_shopping.html
Replace yourdomain.com and page_to_continue_shopping.html with your details.
That should guarantee that the Continue Shopping button in PayPal will appear and work properly.

Also, I'm wondering about automated, post-purchase e-mails to the buyer and seller:
1) For buyer: I know I can (and should) create 'Success' and 'Failure' pages that will appear immediately after their final "purchase click," but how do I make a purchase-confirmation e-mail go automatically to the buyer? People expect to get an e-mail confirmation.

You can't unless you use a specifically made script. I do have such an option in my Instant Download Cart. The script resides in the return page, and mails the customer to the same address he has used for his PayPal payment. However, PayPal emails the customer with the transaction details, so there is no need you also do. [/quote]

2) For seller: Does PayPal automatically send an e-mail to the PP account holder whose account has received a purchase request? Or do I set up e-mails like that in BV? Either way, I need to know the item(s) ordered, including the quantity of each item, in order to fulfill orders correctly.
Thank you!

Yes, PayPal emails you both the payment and the order details. You can also, as soon as you recieve a payment notification by PayPal, login in your PayPal account and see al the order details
