Can you provide a copy of the request so we can see the value being passed for the amount? Apparently there must be something incorrect about that value.
thanks angelleye. do you mean a copy of the code? I am using simplecart for the store and when I click on the proceed to checkout I am receiving a message branded with Paypal logo saying "We're sorry, things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later."
Below is the code for one of the products - all the others have the same cost and use the same code with only product name changing:
<div class="clear"></div>
<ul class="buttons">
<li class="left"><a class="ovalbutton price_button" href="#"><span>$ 5.50 + $1 p&h</span></a></li>
<li class="right"><a href="#" class="ovalbutton cart_button" onclick="simpleCart.add('name=mccrae ', 'price=6.50','quantity=1','thumb=images/thumb4.gif');" ><span>Add to cart</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div>
I have attached the javascript text below: (hope this is what you are after) I had to change my email address in code to simonat rather than simon@ to get the msg thru
