Payment Standard not working in IE8

[kleinds]

HELP!!!  In IE8 I consistently get sent to a PayPal page that says the following after I click on the Buy Now button.  Works problem free in Firefox.  Have not tried Chrome.

Sorry — your last action could not be completed

If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.

If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don't use your browser's Back button) and restart your activity.

If you came from PayPal's website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.

I read in another post that you would want my code in order to help but PayPal requried me to remove it before posting this message.

Thank you very much for you help.

Simply post the URL of the web page that has your item button code.   As there can be several reasons for your issue, we need to see what is going on.

And if you are using Frames in the design of your web page, the following applies:

For security reasons, PayPal does not allow the use of their payment pages to be displayed inside of a Frame. When a PayPal page is displayed in a Frame, it is unsecure causing it to time out and/or be blocked.

You can fix this by simply adding target="paypal" in the <form action> tag of the HTML code. This will prevent the PayPal payment page from being displayed in a Frame.

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Did you get this resolved.  I am getting the same message.  Both in Firefox and Explorer.  I need to pay for my purchase but it won't let me.  It worked fine yesterday.

If you are having trouble paying you should email the seller.
