Description
when the "Regular billing cycle units" is 8 9 or 10 with billing cycle years (probably other values)
paypal says
"Error Detected
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."
when I used either 1 3 or 5 (everything else stayed the same) everything else went smooth
I am attaching a screenshot of subscription details just in case

PayPal seems to have a number of internal safety checks that can reject a subscription. Unfortunately I've not been able to find documentation covering them so that I can check them out before sending in the subscription.
When I can find a free moment I'll try and duplicate this issue locally and see about adding a check in my subscription creation form.

I can confirm this error with Paypal Sandbox. My recurring subscription settings are:
Regular billing cycle - 1
Regular billing cycle units - Months
Recurring payments - recurring

I changed my business email in lm_paypal settings to match the test business account paypal email and this cleared the paypal error I was getting. So if using paypal's test sandbox, make sure you're using the business test account email (ex. example._12394857_biz@example.com).

Yes, that would do it.

v1nce I owe you a beer.
For this module they should ask you to fill in your live PayPal email address and your Sandbox email address and then have a radio button option to switch between the two.

Changing status - no patch attached.

Vince, I was working on your cue.
I made use of the following e-mail accounts for the test buyer and test merchant roles in the sandbox, respectively.
buyer_1241783366_per@mysite.com (test buyer )
admin_1241783049_biz@mysite.com (IPN setting - business email)
despite this, I continue to get the "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again" error.
help?
thanks
