PayPal “Buy Now” buttons have been broken for a week

Eight days ago, PayPal broke their Buy Now buttons ^[1] for customers who sell electronic goods (i.e. who don't collect shipping addresses). The error is because they use `eval()` in their JavaScript, which browsers block. So far, they have been unable to fix the issue. If you are a PayPal merchant using a payment button who sells digital goods, this might be why your payments stopped over a week ago. PayPal support is mostly unhelpful. A workaround purported in the community forum is to start collecting a shipping address, and set the shipping rate to 0.00. [1]: https://ift.tt/vQzed0P
