Marcellus' soul?

yep.
He lost it. That is what the bandaid/bandage on the back of his neck signified.
Also, it explains at the end where travolta was killed, yet reappeared in the last installment of the movie. once you save a man's soul, you are granted a clemency on yours for 30 days.
Ancient folklore that was intertwined in the story.

[Note: Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that "when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head."]
However, that this interpretation came directly from Tarantino conflicts with other accounts. According to Tarantino A to Zed: The Films of Quentin Tarantino:
Tarantino has admitted that there is no official explanation behind the briefcase's contents, and that it was simply written into the screen play as an intriguing McGuffin.
And from Rober Ebert's Questions for the Movie Answer Man comes the following statement by Pulp Fiction co-author Roger Avery:
Originally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen. This way each audience member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate contents. All you were supposed to know was that it was "so beautiful." No prop master can come up with something better than each individual's imagination. At least that was the original idea. Then somebody had the bright idea (which I think was a mistake) of putting an orange lightbulb in there. Suddenly what could have been anything became anything supernatural. Didn't need to push the effect. People would have debated it for years anyway, and it would have been much more subtle. I can't believe I'm actually talking about being subtle.

Travolta re-appearing in the end of the movie had nothing to do with him saving another man's soul. the movie was out of sequence. that was the 2nd part of the FIRST scene in the movie.
after they delivered the briefcase, Jules (Samuel L Jackson) quit the "business." then Butch (Bruce Willis) had the boxing match where he fucked over Marcellis Wallis by not losing. Travolta died in Butch's apartment when Butch shot him to high hell.
then came the whole ass-raping scene, which, IIRC, there were no scenes that would have appeared AFTER that since Jules and Vincent were no longer in the story.

i heard the exact same thing to, there is no way to knowfrom what i have heard at least. just like how mr. brown died in reservoir dogs, he has a mystery in every one of his movies that he wants no one to know. we dont know how mr. brown died, it could have been that he got shot, or that he had an aneurysm bc he couldnt see he said.and in kill bill the mystery is the girls name.

the whole soul thing is not a bad idea, but why would the 3guys want his soul...? of a gangsta?

I don't really believe that part. Supposedly those 3 dudes were "business partners" with wallace and things got fucked up. Make no sense they are carrying around wallace's soul in a briefcase.
More than likely things got fucked up by them not contacting wallace after they retrieved his goods or something

IIRC, when they did that scene, the gunshot was off and it was the end of the filming day already. Tarentino didn't feel like redoing it and said fuck it, let them talk about it for years.
I think it's a Big Kahuna burger.
