Unfortunately there's no built in features or options to do that.   With Payments Standard, all can do is generate the item button code with the price/amounts that you fill in.  There no item listing function.

 

What you have in mind would require a backend database and some custom scripting on your server.  All the logic is done on your end first and the end results are uploaded via the "upload" method to PayPal for Checkout.

Yes, you can use the online button creator to generate your item buttons, note this is not just an item list, it's code that you place on a web page.  If you want to limit customers to only paying with a PayPal Account, then you would need to use PayPal's Express Checkout feature.  https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/express-checkout/gs_expresscheckout/

snowshoe,

 

we already have an Express Checkout feature on our site. I want to pass item id, not it's price, in shipping info, so PayPal would select price from predefined item list
