Paypal Form Not Working

Any idea what the problem is with this form?
The business ID is for my customer. 
Is there any way I can check if my customer did something with her paypal account, like delete her account?
The form generates the following error, which sounds temporary, but has been occurring for 4 days now:
"Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later."
Thanks!

Found a couple of things which I highlighted in red, note I added target="_self" so your browser open the PayPal screen in the same window or tab or you could have target="paypal" whereas your browser will open a new window or tab.   The main issue I think was the currency_code value - the value should be USD.  And you were missing the </form> tag but, I'm guessing that was just a copy and paste miss.
