Paypal purchasing code not working, 'edit button' gives me a blank box!

I'm a premiere account hodler with PayPal, and for some reason, some of the dropdown-menu buttons on my store have stopped working. Any attempts to use them gives the purchaser an error (and says there's a problem with my site). Other buttons, including drop-downs, still work. The store is here:

And the area affected is the fourth section down, labeled "PS238 Individual Issues." When I go into my paypal account and try to edit the code for the buttons, the website code box is blank! The code on my site looks like this:

 

<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="FRJKPZF8T8LW6">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="p238 # 40-46">p238 # 40-46</td></tr><tr>
  <td><select name="os">
    <option value="ps238 #40">ps238 #40 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #41">ps238 #41 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #42">ps238 #42 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #43">ps238 #43 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #44">ps238 #44 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #45">ps238 #45 $3.00</option>
    <option value="ps238 #46">ps238 #46 $3.00</option>
  </select></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

 

 

What is going on???

 

Thank you,

I saw a thing in the Merchant Help Announcements about updating API and certification stuff. You might check on it. A lot of sites are getting errors due to certification updating with VeriSign or something like that.

I'm hesitant to start installing things on my server (my tech support isn't quick to respond if something goes wrong), but if Verisign is the problem, why does the code come up blank on Paypal's own site when I try to edit the button, and why isn't it affecting all purchases, just  a select few?

Not to mention this just started happening today, not on June 7th when the article was posted.
