The person who created my website left long back. I do not have any expertise or any webmaster for my small website. It appaers that Paypal has recently made some changes and now the payment on my website is not in compliance with the recent changes. I have been reading but could not understand what to change due to lack of knowledge with the coding.
If somebody can please look at my website and direct me what and where to make the changes, I would greatly appreciate. My small business website is not able to accept payments starting today.

We stopped support unknown or invalid parameters and values being passed to us in HTML code, we had a comms drive out to merchants over the past 4 months on this....
Checking your website I can see that its an amount based error, and looking at the data being passed I can see a $ symbol in the amount i.e:

Thank you so much for the prompt response. You mentioned about the $ error. Can you please direct me on which page should I change the code to remove the $ sign. I have no knowledge of coding and do not have anyone at this moment to help me out. I am willing to take the risk of updating the code with whatever clues I can get from you. I appreciate your help and thank you in advance for your time and input. Thank You

its hard for me to say from the details you have provided/. Without visibility of the code it would be just guessing Im afraid, but to hazard a guess I would suspect that the buttons are built on this page - http://sunglasseslove.com/Paypal.aspx which would be the first place Id look.
You'll to access your server and find the code for that file, search for where the "amount" is set and see if you can find where the $ is getting populated.

So this doesnt look to be the place, In order to trace further you would need to figure out what the server does when the button is clicked i.e, at this point.
<asp:Button ID="btnProceedCheckOut" runat="server" CssClass="button" Text="Proceed to PAYPAL for payment" />

Without viewing the code, its near impossible Im afraid. I would highly recommend you reachout to a developer to help you out on this.
