I'm getting this error on paypal using the donations module and 6-2dev.

However, when I go back to the alpha everything works fine.

According to google, this error message is normally caused by paypal, and depends on the browser (well cookies) present when the user is sent to paypal.

I've tried emptying my caches and I disabled boost for that page.

I've attached the full html of the button in dev 2x vs. alpha 2 and I've put the differences first.

This seems to be related to an issue on Paypal's end. Here's a link to their forum on this topic. https://www.x.com/thread/42018

Thanks for the update.

In summary from that thread on x.com - paypal have changed some things at their end, and broken the paypal functionality on tens of thousands of sites. It's possible to workaround this with module changes, but obviously the ecommerce platforms with tens of thousands of deployments can't be expected to updated all of these with their shopping facility broken in the meantime.

This can be fixed by just replacing the following line in lm_paypal.module

$cmd = '_xclick ';

TO

$cmd = '_xclick';
