Hi,
Before going live I try to test the paypal process against the paypal sandbox mode, but after the summary of what the user is going to pay on my website(buy now button), the link does not redirect to a paypal summary of the prder but ask the user to connect to paypal. Even after logging into the buyer sandbox account there's no summary of the order. It just disappears. Here's is the code I use on the checkout page:

    <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.website.com/paypal/"> 
        <div class="suggestion"> 
            <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> 
            <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> 
        </div> 
    </form> 

Any idea why it redirects to the payapl login page instead of the order one? Btw I'm using the Website Basic Payment (not PRO then).

Cheers,
Nicolas.
