I have a suggestions about another issue where it would help out those who have 100+ items that have sequential names How come paypal doesn't have paypal button options where you can make all your buttons in sequential order in the link EXAMPLE I have about 100 magnets that are named BobDylan01 This is one of my paypal button address: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=G6WZ6EJLG5TTL It would make more sense  if the paypal button url address read something like this: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan01 So my suggestion to Paypal is to make it where we enter our item names and then the button automatically gives us sequential paypal button address, something like this.  BobDylan01 BobDylan02 BobDylan03 BobDylan04 BobDylan05 BobDylan06 BobDylan07 BobDylan08 BobDylan09     ETC ETC ETC Then I click submit and paypal creates my magnet URLS https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan01 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan02 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan03 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan04 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan05 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan06 https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BobDylan07   ETC ETC ETC Who agrees with me that this would be a lot less of a headache for those who have over 20  items with sequential names. ...

Thanks @vraquila.  Your link worked for me using the Advanced Variable "on5".  What a pain that PayPal is putting us through!  We will be looking for another solution.  PayPal should reconsider these recent deprecations.  What were they thinking? ... View more

Access to advanced variables... I have a similar problem, support pointed me to a legacy page where I was able to edit advanced variables using the old interface and it worked for me, I was able to reinstate lost variables there. I would describe this as alife-saving work-around for those who are losing money right now, can't say I have much confidence that this solution will be available in the long term, but it might help patch up the mess until you have a better solution.
