Hi there,

So I need some help with some setup (apparently).

What I have done so far:
Created a contribution page (payment processor is PayPal, i am using it in sandbox mode, as per this instruction: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/PayPal+Website+Payments+Standard+and+Recurring+Contributions).
I have set up the IPN (as per instructions).
The page itself is connected to the processor, has a price set and a profile attached (a drop down and a free text field).

The problem is this:
1. When I submit a donation (in this setting) I always get the error "The system did not record payment details" (attachment)
2. I do get past this issue by selecting the "Pay later" option, which then shows the two options (PayPal and Pay Later).
3. I get to the second step but now if i process the donation the screen goes to the contribution information page ... no PayPal in between. The IPN history at PayPal says that there was no attempt (which is obvious because i never got asked anything between step and 3)

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Thomas
