messing around with the links i have noticed that the problem might be that in the link there are & and other things that might confuse the Script

http://secure.paypal.x.com/xclick/business=jsimonelli@artyko.com&undefined_quantity=1&item_name=$rec{'Title'}&amount=$rec{'Price'}&shipping=0&return=http://simonelli.artyko.com



this is the link and how could i make it show this link without ever confusing the script

What are the errors you are getting with the codes you are using?

Are you having problems with the title perhaps which would have spaces?

I know there was some recent threads regarding using paypal, if I'm not mistaken in the chat forum. You might want to do a search and review the information provided there.

I assume the link is in a print qq statement, yes? Try escapaing your email address, like this you\@somewhere.com. It might be the culprit.

This is the solution. I just went through this last week, and it needs the @ in the email address escaped.

(I took the PayPal code apart line by line until I found the culprit - now it works just as it should.)
