/checkout/genericError when using paypal for payments

[Jashby]

Hi,

I'm setting up a website that has an option to buy stuff on.

I am using paypal to generate the code for the buy now and goto checkout buttons.

I'm getting an error url ending in /checkout/genericError with a screen message saying to try again later.

Sometimes it works OK when you hit the buy now button and you go through to the checkout but more ofteh than not I get the error message.

This is happening on multiple items on my site.

Anyone had this problem and solved it??

Cheers,
Jonathan
