Fix from PayPal: -

 

Here is their message:-

 

We are receiving reports of customers encountering the error "There is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller..." when the merchant is using the “no_shipping” variable and setting the value to “1”. This issue is currently being treated as a high priority and we are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

 

Currently the work around for this error is to change a small piece of code that is being sent to PayPal.

 

If you edit the following line of code in your existing unencrypted buttons:

 

<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">

 

to read

 

<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">

 

 

then the error will no longer occur.

Yes we've been getting that too. The only problem is that there are thousnads of lines of code in the Paypal module. Any idea where to put this temporary fix? (I'm using Paypal Shopping Cart IPN)

$parameters['no_shipping'] = '1';

Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't find the code but I think they may have fixed it as on person who had complained managed to get his order through yesterday.

I made this change in my paypal module and I think I messed something up. Now I am being transferred to the paypal site on checkout I'm getting the google search engine with module_payment_paypal_mysitecom. I switched it back to 0 and am still having this problem.. Customers can not checkout. I need help quick.

Upload your backup, if you don't have one (You should) upload a fresh file file from the PayPal package that you use.
