paypal advanced paypal payflow

I saw this bug too. I changed the following code in order to send the state abbreviations instead of letting Paypal truncate the full state name to two letters (i.e "Georgia" becomes "Ge"). There may be a better way but this seems to work perfectly...

 

in catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_payflow_link.php near line 100 change the following

 

. "&BILLTOSTATE=" . $order->customer['state']

to

//MODIFIED TO SEND STATE ABBREVIATION TO PAYPAL
//. "&BILLTOSTATE=" . $order->customer['state'] ORIGINAL CODE
. "&BILLTOSTATE=" . tep_get_zone_code($order->customer['country']['id'], $order->customer['zone_id'], $order->customer['zone_name'])
//MODIFIED TO SEND STATE ABBREVIATION TO PAYPAL

 

And

 

. "&SHIPTOSTATE=" . $order->delivery['state']

to

//MODIFIED TO SEND STATE ABBREVIATION TO PAYPAL
//. "&SHIPTOSTATE=" . $order->delivery['state'] ORIGINAL CODE
. "&SHIPTOSTATE=" . tep_get_zone_code($order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id'], $order->delivery['zone_name'])
//MODIFIED TO SEND STATE ABBREVIATION TO PAYPAL

 

Also, I installed the DHTML State Selection for 2.3.1 to make sure customers pick/spell States correctly. You can find it here http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8028

Since 2012 PayPal have many changes. Can you say where is Admin > Configuration > My Store page  now

I have encountered this same problem, I am using Paypal's Layout C. I fixed the issue by going to Admin > Configuration > My Store and changed the "Display Prices with Tax" to true. When set to true the problem resolved, when set to false the error message displays.
