Hi. For years, I have used code at the bottom of my ad descriptions to insert PayPal's BUY IT NOW button. Now I notice that all of my auctions have an X where the button should be.
What happened, and how best to insert a Buy It Now button?
I do have the PayPal button set so that when a bidder's cursor moves to it, a popup says "Winning bidder, please use our Vendio Checkout!" If they click, though, it takes them to PayPal -- useful because Vendio often won't allow entry of state sales tax.
That, of course, is another question. Even though I have my preference set to allow editing of the Checkout payment, it doesn't seem to let bidders do it.
PayPal has discontinued this option -- it is now replaced by a preference on eBay. We posted an announcement on this -- please go to the announcements forum and read "IMPORTANT CHANGE TO PAYPAL ALI TRANSITION PLAN". We can help you set up your preference for PayPal along with your current Vendio PayPal set up. Please let us know if you'd like help getting it all set up.

Hello Marshall,
I had the same problem. Have also used manual insertion. The problem you are having is that they changed one line of the HTML code without notifying anyone.
Here is the new code. Unfortunately, any of your posted auctions will have to be manually revised.
