Thread: PayPal Problem

I changed some pages on my site and the PayPal "By Now" button does not function properly. I get this message when testing:

We cannot complete transaction because there is a problem with the internet address of the seller.

I checked my account everything is the same as before, my internet address is same etc.

Any ideas?












.

check your buttons. Dont copy and paste them. Need a link to the page.

Karen

Thanks Karen,

I used the button on the website builder, what more is needed. A link to page isn`t it there after I enter my email name and account name? As usual slow to learn.

no.. I need a link to the page you are talking about where the paypal dont work.

Sorry Karen......................

Have you verified this email address with paypal? you have to set up the account and verify both the email, and the bank account you associated with paypal. If you havent done either one of these.. they wont allow you to accept payments.

Karen

Yes, I checked my account everything is correct including email. However I added an account for gmail awhile back. If this is the problem how do I solve it, cannot find any help on their site, only how to add another email not to change it. I cannot call a 1-800 number in the U.S. and can`t find another number listed anywhere.

check your gmail for spam from paypal to see if your verification is in there. Also make sure you dont have encrypted payments checked off in your profile.

Karen

No encrytion payments, account verified...when I look at the html of the button it first gave me a email address in the html but now no.....any more ideas...can not get in touch with them.....need to be able to charge this week...

Well im not sure what you have done but your buttons dont match up

youve got one with a price listed at 692 but the buttons is like 1600

that has NO price.. dont copy and paste these.. make new ones each time. Delete both of those and start over.

Karen

I have used the paypal icons on website builder...I click it and the image appears. How can I start anew?

Cannot delete those two ...tried again to insert them on page and now the buttons do not work??????????????????????????

I see exactly the same as before EXCEPT

return" value="info@mayatabasco.com">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="info@mayatabasco.com">

Those need to be return pages to your site for a Thank you for purchase for the first one.. and a cancel order for the second one.. or use the paypal generated ones.

The only other reason they arent working is that you dont have the paypal address in there that you set up your account with. The second one is still blank.. you didnt put any values in there.

Go here and redo the tutorial
