Orid:
I am trying to get it to send the buyer's information over to Paypal. Many of them are complaining that they can't use their credit card.
The reason for this is because they try to enter in the number at the bottom of the credit card entry page at Paypal (the blank at the bottom that contains numbers and letters you have to enter to prove you aren't a spammer). They enter it exactly and still can't get through.
I called Paypal and they said it was because my site uses PHP includes, I have to change the form action statement on the confirm order button to read "target=paypal". They said Paypal won't accept the request unless the target is changed.Yours is the first report I've seen of this issue. I'm surprised that PayPal is telling you that.
It's understandable that some folks may have troubles with CAPTCHA symbols, and yet it still is a necessary practice in many places.
Changing the form action to target="paypal" seems like an odd suggestion.
I'm not sure why that suggestion was made, unless you're trying to do your payments in a popup or a new browser window.
If you want to do it, simply go to your Admin->Modules->Payment->PayPal IPN. Click Edit. Scroll down to the "Mode for PayPal web services" entry. Add ?target="paypal" to the end of the path already there, and save the changes.
Then test.
I'm not optimistic that this will make a difference to your customers.
If you use the Express Checkout module, all of the address-info exchange happens in the background and no CAPTCHA will be needed unless a customer insists on not identifying themselves completely.
