In the API response for the "D" ACTION, you get a BAID, which you'll need to use to create the Recurring Billing Profile call.

To create the Recurring Billing Profile, you use an "A" ACTION to Add a Recurring Billing Profile. Use a TRXTYPE of R to specify "Recurring," and you'll pass the BAID as the Reference Point for the TENDER of P for "PayPal."
