You know what, I think I figured out what the problem was.
The pay button for PayPal is linked incorrectly... the amount for the server was set as "19.99" instead of "$19.99", so it caused an error with PayPal. I just edited the link and was able to send a one time payment from PayPal, so I should be all set!
See at the end? Should be "&amount=$19.95" and not "&amount=19.95"
Oh ...

... correct?

just create a new account & try to make a single, one time payment (subscription works fine)- that will reproduce it for you - It's very rare that PayPal is at fault.
