Paypal Payment button no longer working from 10th August 2022

Hi Team,

 

I hope I am posting the right place and someone can offer some advice. I have opened a case but there is a 3 day turnaround apparently and I could do with sorting this.

At out site watchbattery.co.uk we have a PayPal payment button which has been working for years. As off 10th August, 2022 it stopped working. When the user clicks to pay by PayPal they get the message: "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later"

This is easily reproduced by adding something to the cart and following the steps to enable the PayPal button (T&Cs etc.)

This has been working for years (using IPN).

The hosting company says "nothing has changed" and I am not sure what could have changed to cause this issue since the error is coming from PayPal. 

 

The form submission is shown below. Can anyone offer any advice please?
