Guest brosville Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 getting peeved with Paypal! - got it working fine, except I just cannot get my own header on the payment forms to load satisfactorily in IE - in Firefox, it loads fine, but in IE you get the "insecure items" warning (sure to put any customer off). I've crawled all over their faqs, and even sent a long and detailed email to Paypal - they answered a different question all together, and haven't had the good manners to get back to me....... I've tried bunging the logo in my own "https" files, I also tried putting it on some secure server space that has all the certification - won't play! Are we lumbered with one of the companies they advertise who'll host it? (spotted one that was $1 a year) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest estelle Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You could try calling PayPal. They're actually fairly decent on the phone, although you do have to wait a little while and go through some loops (ie. automated menu system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aikdo Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 paypal do give you a note stating that you have to link to a secure image for your header of you will recive the error message, you should try and find an image host that allows secure hosting of domains.

Guest ant0 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I've tried bunging the logo in my own "https" files, I also tried putting it on some secure server space that has all the certification - won't play!We'll all we do is put the logos into a specifi folder and ref the logo link to https://XXXXXXX and it always works fine. I'd contact PayPal to run through this and see what the problem is as it should be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(spotted one that was $1 a year) Brosville, You will see this error - as the browser is reporting a correct problem, some items are insecure. I'm not sure why Firefox doesn't report an error -but IE sounds like it is behaving! If you have your own SSL, then enter the Logo URL into your browser and ensure the logo appears - if so, enter that address into the logo url in PayPal. It should work fine, providing the server is set-up. Check it with the Preview button. If you don't have a SSL, you will need to host the logo somewhere else. I have my own SSL on my server, and it works fine. You won't find free SSL hosting online, as the certificate costs money and the host gets nothing out of it. (no real ad exposure) SSL also puts a higher drain on the server, hence the small charge. If its only $1/year, I'd personally pay it.. I use this system for 3 stores, and it works fine and helps customer confidence. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
