Sandbox Error 500

[user285]

Hello,

I am testing the integrating for a webshop with sandbox.paypal,com but I always a "500 internal Server Error".

Attached screenshots of the request.  What is the reason for this problem?

kind regards,

[MTS_Martin]

Seems to be working fine now - can you let us know if you're still facing issues?

[user285]

unfortunately not. Still the same 500 Error.

I've got the same problem. It persists even when I create the button from scratch with PayPal's online button generator.

Here's an example of such generated button:

When I submit this form, I always get "Internal Server Error".

Here's the same generated button, but without encryption (the 'email version'):

This one works fine.

I have the same issue

When first request, it always return 500 errors

If I try several times again, it works

[MTS_Ciaran]

Issue should be resolved now. If youre still seeing this please update the thread.
