Got AMOUNT_ERROR, was working before.

I have a post form on my site which will redirect to "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr". It was working without any issues, however, after a couple tests today, it couldn't allow me to make payment anymore. It is saying 'Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later.'

The url is

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/shoppingcart/error?flowlogging_id=57f9208c484a1&code=AMOUNT_ERROR

 

I have checked my parameters in the form, they are looking correctly and i didn't make any changes today. I can't figure out why the amount is not working.

I got new errors, here is the link

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/shoppingcart/error?flowlogging_id=4efa581e50e9&code=BAD_INPUT...

 

i don't want to add tax this time, so i put tax and tax_rate as 0, 
<input type="hidden" name="tax_rate" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" id="tax" value="0" />

 

i tried to remove these two lines, however, it keeps giving me the bad input error

Hi, as in the documentation the tax_rate must follow these guidelines: "A valid value is from 0.001 to 100. Valid only for Buy Now and Add to Cart buttons.".

If you still expereince the bad input error can you send the whole HTML of your button so I will run some tests?
