Button options not all working

My customers are only able to select some of the options in my buttons, others give the error:

 

"PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem."

 

They are not able to select the 6 month or 12 month payment options. Thank you for advice.

 

The page the button is located on is:

 

The Stafford Knot

 

The code for the button is:

Most likely one of your options is passing some unrecognizable characters or not the exact info to PayPal which is causing the issue.  As you are using a "hosted" item button, we cannot see the complete item button code.   You basically have two options, the first would be to go back and recreate a new item button.  Second option would be to not generate a hosted item button.  This way we can see all of the code.  What you need to do is "uncheck" the option for "Save Button At PayPal" in Step 2.   Then after you "Create" the button code, in the window that displays the code look for the link that says "Remove Code Protection".   Select this link.   Your code will be changed to clear text and not "hosted".
