Hi,
I am getting this error "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again." when someone tries to subscribe to my blog.

I have configured the IPN & API.
My Account Type: Business Status: Verified should be correct.

Any ideas of how i can fix this?

The link to my checkout page is here: http://mvpta.info/membership-3/become-a-member/

Thanks for the help

Thanks for reporting this.
Here are some things I would take a look at:

1. Your s2Member -> PayPal Options; using an invalid email address?
2. Your s2Member -> PayPal Options, are currently in Sandbox Mode with a NON-Sandbox email address?
3. You're using the Full Button Code, instead of the Shortcode; and it's been corrupted by the Visual Editor?
4. You're using the Full Button Code, instead of the Shortcode, and you created that code in Sandbox mode?
5. Your amount is set to $0?

Hope this helps. Please report back if you have more information; or if you find a solution.

I'm getting this message: 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 http://www.paypal.com. The thing is, when I click on the sample button that is generated on the S2 paypal button page, it brings me to my paypal checkout page like it should. But when I put the button in a post, I get that message.
I switched to defauld wp editor, and I tried with shortcode, and wtith html...
Help!!!

Ok... I tried the html snippet in a text widget, and it worked fine! Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get one of the editors to work with the shortcode or the html? I already tried downgrading my editor to the default. But thank the Lord it's gonna work. And thank you, Jason! You're awesome!
