Hi John   Thanks for your reply.   Just a note though, you are incorrect that "The buyer will simply be directed back to your checkout page." What actually happens is that the buyer remains in the PayPal page and actually has to hit the back button on their browser to return to my site.   This is a REALLY bad user experience for both my site and for PayPal. So much so that I have heard from my users that "this is just another reason I'm going to stop using PayPal". I suggest you get this reinstated as soon as possible.   Please keep me abreast of the progress.   Thanks, Sandy     ... View more

Hi John   Thanks for the reply. However, I cannot find the options you describe. There is no Buy Now button (at least not with that specific name). Below is a screen shot of the button options I get.

This is becoming a real problem.   Thanks, Sandy         ... View more

I agree - insane. My issue is the auto return. I used to be able to declarer a success return location and a fail return location.

However, I have a couple of questions: when a buyer is sent to the redirect page, what information about the purchase does PayPal send? how do I capture this information and also, can I have additional parameters sent as well based upon the item that was purchased (or is that part of the info that is sent already Thanks  ...
