Buy now button not working

Hi,

 

I am new to PayPal and having real trouble adding a buy now button with drop down options to both my site and an email.

 

I can embed the code but when ever I try to click the button nothing happens. Sorry if this has been asked before I have been trying to resolve this myself all day looking through this forum and am at a loss. 

 

Heres the code 

 

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="CFESZXMUFWF7L">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Select your Date">Select your Date</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
<option value="Wednesday 17th May – 10.00 – 14.00">Wednesday 17th May – 10.00 – 14.00 </option>
<option value="Wednesday 12th June – 10.00 – 14.00">Wednesday 12th June – 10.00 – 14.00 </option>
<option value="Friday 19th July - 12.00 - 16.00">Friday 19th July - 12.00 - 16.00 </option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table>
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!">

</form>
 
Thanks so much

Hi @TheWhiteThistle

 

Thanks for joining the PayPal Community! I am sorry to hear that you're running into issues creating a Buy Now button. Based on what you've provided here, it looks like you've added special characters within the option values. This can at times cause additional issues. You may need to create the button without the special characters. If that does not work, you may need to create a brand new button. You could also create a shopping cart button or use a third-party checkout option. 

 

Hope that helps!
