Form email not sent correctly to PayPal?

  • CVTSC
    Asked on August 27, 2014 at 5:39 PM

    My form was working up until about an hour ago, then I got reports that PayPal is giving this error:

    We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem. If this payment is for an eBay listing, you can contact the seller via the "Ask Seller a Question" link on the listing page. When you have the correct email address, payment can be made at www.paypal.com.

    The address at the top of the PayPal screen is screwy- it has "%40" instead of the "@" character in the email.

    I've set and then reset the email though the form wizard but it's still incorrect at PayPal.

    Help! I need this form up and working!

    Thank you,

    Susan B.

    Hi,

    It looks like you need to update your email address with PayPal and with your integration.  I am surprised anything is sent with an address that has a "%" instead of an "@".  If you update both and you still cannot receive payments, let us know and we will be happy to assist your further.

    Thank you for using JotForm!

    Hi David,

    My email address does not have a '%' character in it. %40 is unicode for '@'.

    This issue appears to have been solved; I found this comment in another forum question:

    We are sorry for the inconveniences caused.

    There was an issue with the product names encoding today. It has been fixed by our developers, so that apostrophes and other symbols will not cause any issues anymore.

    This is the exact same problem I'm having. Do I need to do something additional to correct this?

    Mine just started working again about 2 hours ago. I assumed it had to do with the fix Mike_T mentions.
