Buy Now Button not passing shipping variable

[BartKeith]

 I have created a Buy Now button and I want to password the Quantity and Shipping cost from the button code. The quantity variable works OK but the shipping variable does not. The shipping cost is not being passed to PayPal. In the Merchant Profile Shipping calculations I have tried the following but neither work:

1. No shipping calculation

2. Shipping calculation with amount of zero and the "Use the shipping fee in the transaction instead of my calculator's settings:" set to YES.

Here is the code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
	<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" />
	<input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="U3B6JHGJ6ARY6" />
    <input id="shipping" type="hidden" name="shipping" value="7.00">
    Quantity:
    <select name="quantity" id="quantity" style="width: 50px; margin-left: 3px;" onchange="setshipping(this.value)">
    	<option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="2">2</option>
        <option value="3">3</option>
        <option value="4">4</option>
    </select><br />
    <input alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" type="image" />
    <img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />
</form>

When using a hosted button you cannot override parameters from the button's HTML. You would have to adjust that from within the hosted button settings in the PayPal account. If you need to set dynamic shipping then you'll have to use a non-hosted button.
