Have you ever come across this error?

Quote:
Invalid Regular period. You must specify values for the A3, P3 and T3 parameters for a subscription.
It's because Paypal sets limits to the lengths you're allowed to set for subscriptions that have recurring billing. In vBulletin, for example, this limitation is not mentioned in the admin back-end. (Admittedly, I've not scoured the vBulletin user manual, but I'd think this info would have been important enough to put in the subscription setup area)
  • D – for days; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 90
  • W – for weeks; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 52
  • M – for months; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 24
  • Y – for years; allowable range for p3 is 1 to 5
So you can only have subscriptions on cycles with a maximum value of 90 days, 52 weeks, 24 months, or 5 years.

My recent attempt to create a subscription for longer than 24 months failed. This does not appear to affect one-time payments, as I was able to create 10-year subscriptions that was not recurring.

Lowered my values, and it should work. Easy enough!

Information from docs found at x.com, the Paypal Developer Network.

Paypal charges more than all other for their services. I suggest you to try
Code:

and get benefit from its unique services like recurring invoices and scheduling.

Why would I use a no-name company that hides who own it?
And host it on a $5 budget server?

I think I'll stick with Paypal.
Even with all the warts, it's a real company, controlled by U.S. laws (a good thing!), and it's therefore safe.

The person leaving the spam above was using a proxy:
Quote:
IP Address 208.85.6.243
City Latham
State or Region New York
Country United States
ISP Turnkey Internet Inc.
Latitude & Longitude 42.7250 -73.7530
Domain turnkeyinternet.net
ZIP Code 12110
I wouldn't be surprised if this site was a scam intended to steal your money. Because those behind it have tried to completely hide their footprints, even when spamming. (Turnkey is a host, not an ISP. Hence why it has to be a proxy.)

Spam fail!
