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! <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="VRA6PCB9V7YVQ"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="US"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Green Tea & Roses Soap - SOAP TEA"> <input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="6.25 "> <input type="hidden" name="shipping_1" value="6.50"> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://larkintea.com/tea/index.cfm?action=success"> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://larkintea.com/tea/index.cfm?action=cancel"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHosted"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

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.
