Paypal Express button not going anywhere

[DrByte]

demo.eism.net and www.unique-gifts-jewelry.com are using a SEFU/SEO module that is preventing the ipn_main_handler.php file from being allowed to execute properly.

Try turning off the URL-modifying modules and remove the related .htaccess rewrite rules, and then try testing the PayPal module

Thanks - that debug report is helpful. You should also have one that says "SetExpressCheckout" in the email subject line -- can you post that data here?
It should also have the 10004 error message in it, but with some additional details.

Hmmm ... the fields show with '' as their value should not be blank.

Your log from the previous post says that you're using Address record #7 for the billing address (this suggests that it's the main address on the account of the customer already in Zen Cart) and address #8 for the shipping address.
The email address also appears to be blank ... although it appears you've stripped some data for privacy reasons, so I'm not sure if you blanked the email address manually.

Do any of the address records for this customer contain blanks? ie, do they all have valid state, street, city, etc information?

What happens if you do "not" select an alternate shipping address, and instead just use the primary address of the customer's account for both shipping and billing? What happens if you "change" the primary address to the "other" one, and try using "that" one for both shipping and billing?

I have my store set up as Free shipping. The address that the customer used was a NY address. I ship to USA. It doesnt make any sense.

I have turned off Ultimate SEO module and replaced .htaccess file with a blank one on http://demo.eism.net/. I am still getting a blank screen:

The requested URL /ipn_main_handler.php&type=ec was not found on this server.

Please help.

What are your PayPal debug logs showing ?

I agree that it doesn't make sense. Can you answer the questions I posted earlier about address selections etc ?

I am having the same problem and I did follow your instruction about setting up the AIP but everytime I click the express checkout button I received like 13 e-mail all with the same stuff everyone else wrote - and its like all chinese to me so I can't wait to see what everyone has to say about it - I removed it again for now. But I like the idea.
