Paypal - Error message *SOLVED*

Hi,
I tried to get the Paypal block work.
I have both tried with generated ID and mail but got the same error message (from PayPal) in both cases.
What I don't understand is if they mean my Meteotemplate site or Paypal site when they refer to "sellers site".
Well, I'm a newbie so there is possible a simple solution to this
Thanks
Christian

They are referring to the site that sent the request to them, so they are talking about your Meteotemplate website.

Hi Christian,
An obvious check I suppose, but you are definitely using the email address attached to your PayPal account?

Hi,
OK, what I thought also. But now know, thanks!
Yes, I'ts the same mail.
I have had other CMS running with my account before (as Joomla and Wordpress) and then no problem to mail. So I don't think there is any problem with my service provider. But you should never say never

.
I read in some thread about a problem with the test (in the template, but that mail worked anyway).
Is it possible to trigger a mail in any other way? I suppose that field then must have my mail within it?

paypal has changed to needing TLS 1.2 on a server
on the 28 june
(i.e security layer)
maybe that is part of the problem?

OK, hmm.
I tested to set up a blank page with the code from Paypal. Created a page in the same directory as the Paypal block.
Then all was ok. I was directed to PayPal with correct information. This with the same ID as I provided in config.php in the template.
Could it be some problem with the block? Or more likely, what do I do that is wrong?

Now it's working, did a workaround.
Within payPalBlock.php I change the code for $payPalType==Button from the original to the code I got from PayPal.
Understand this could be a problem if the Block updates and/or with a new version of the template. But could not see what else to do.
Now I have to figure out how to get PayPal to open in a new Window
