Has someone this thing in use? For me the URL´s it creates are all invalid because they use a "," for the currency instaed of a ".". So when clicking it PayPal gives an error and the tool is pretty useless. Is there any new version of it around ?

Thanks.

It seems to me that I remember that it is just a regular URL? I mean that is what is usually given, or are you using: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/payment_wizard_intro-outside

Yes, I am using the payment wizzard for outlook, which can be found at the link you´ve posted. And the URL´s it creates are invalid because they use "," as a separation in the currency field instead of a "." (4,99 instead 4.99). So I always have to edit the URL´s at the payment button it created, so that this tool does not really make any sense.

Just give it a try and you´ll see, it is easy to de-install too.

I just tried it:
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><a
href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&amp;business=crbryant%40mydomain%2Ecom&amp;amount=4%2E99&amp;item_name=test&amp;currency_code=USD&amp;no_shipping=1&amp;pbtype=general&amp;bn=paywiz4mso-001.000&amp;mrb=R-4VT64848FL959270J"><span
style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=73 height=44 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="https://www.paypal.com/images/btn/btn_xclickPayNowCC_73x44.gif"
alt="Pay now"></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
And it worked for me. It used the period (%2E). What currency are you using?

This is the link it creates when I create a Service Invoice:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ext-enter&redirect_cmd=_xclick&first_name=Hans&last_name=Customer&business=test%40test%2Ecom&amount=49%2C00&currency_code=USD&item_name=Mastering+your+music&no_shipping=1&pbtype=service&bn=paywiz4mso-001.000&mrb=R-4VT64848FL959270J

Here is the link that it created for me using service:

<a
href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&amp;business=crb%40mydomain%2Ecom&amp;amount=4%2E99&amp;currency_code=USD&amp;item_name=&amp;no_shipping=1&amp;pbtype=service&amp;bn=paywiz4mso-001.000&amp;mrb=R-4VT64848FL959270J">

It still works - does not create a comma. Have you unistalled it, downloaded it again? I cannot re-create the comma for any given currency either.

I just re-downloaded it from the link you gave me. Still the same!:

"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ext-enter&redirect_cmd=_xclick&first_name=Test&last_name=Test&business=sales%40xarcmastering%2Ecom&amount=49%2C00&currency_code=EUR&item_name=Mastering&no_shipping=1&pbtype=service&bn=paywiz4mso-001.000&mrb=T5GXBG9B9EJRJ"

Can you send me the .exe of the setup you used to info@xarcmastering.com ?

This is annoying :(

"Error Detected




The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

"

yes - I'll ZIP it & send it right over

Thank you. Íf the problem still exists, the only thing I can think of would be the German Language settings in Windows XP. But how would that influence the "," or the "."

I´ll see.

Thank you.

That was something I was thinking. Do the Germans (or others) use the comma instead of the period? Maybe check the currency settings on the computer?

Hi Correy.

I´ve received it. Actually we also use "." but I remember PayPal switched to "," instead of "." a while ago and then back again to "."

So I tought the Outlook Wizzard is just outdated.

Well however, the same with the EXE you´ve sent me. Look here:

http://www.xarcmastering.com/1.GIF (note that I don´t enter the "," myself. I just enter "49" and when I go to the next field, it makes "49,00" out of it.

And this is the URL it creates:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ext-enter&redirect_cmd=_xclick&first_name=Hans&last_name=Test&business=sales%40xarcmastering%2Ecom&amount=49%2C00&currency_code=USD&item_name=Mastering&no_shipping=1&pbtype=service&bn=paywiz4mso-001.000&mrb=T5GXBG9B9EJRJ


Any ideas left?

Ha, got it. It was indeed the global setting for currencies in Windows, it had a "," instead of a "."

Works now and thanks for your patience ;)

:) No worries. Don't you hate it when something irritating is a simple fix.

Yes! Especially I don´t see the point why the programmers of this Outlook Wizzward considered to use the Windows settings for this when they knew PayPal would not support anything else then a "."

Omg!
