Bookmark Error

[cmagrp]

I am trying to add the payment code to my blog, using Blogger, and keep getting the email message "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks." when I test the link.

I checked the html in blogger and couldn't find any variable codes with numbers.

Any ideas?  Thanks

What's the code look like?    Need to see what is going on.

We have had the same error, about 3 weeks back we set up a form to permit someone to make a payment via Paypal all worked fine and the payment instructions went to the gateway. Now it is not working and we obviously need it to be and we get the "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks." error.

did you find a solution?

Are you all still experiencing the bookmark error? It's very frustrating!  You'd think PayPal would give us notice or something if this was a scheduled outage.  We had to take down our PayPal link and now I'm not sure I even want to put it back up if/when PayPal decides to turn itself back on.

Yesterday my customers started getting this message when trying to purchase my software:

   "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.".

I haven't changed the Buy Now button on my site in months! There goes $100 in sales and counting...

HELP!

I am having the SAME issue. I didnt know if my account was suspended or what. Im glad to know im not the only one. Still havent found a solution to this problem. 😞 I just found out today...wonder how many sales Ive lost because of this. THANKS Paypal!

This should be a solution for the problem.

The problem happens for me when I send an e-mail through Outlook with the "Pay Now" button in my e-mail.   When I use the PayPal Payment Request Wizard to do this,  I was choosing "Basic" for Payment Type.   When client receives the e-mail and clicks on the button, they get this "outdated PayPal...bookmark" message.  I called PayPal and they are aware of the problem.  It apparently is a problem with only the "Basic" selection under Payment Type.  He said if you choose one of the others under Payment Type, (Product, Service, etc.)  it works fine.  I tried it and it does work okay that way for me.

Hope this helps.

I just experienced the, "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks." error. Using the SERVICE option instead of BASIC, fixed mine.

Thanks!
