I am facing a weird issue with PayPal sandbox. I am trying to create a subscription button from https://sandbox.paypal.com/buttons but it's not working!
Here is the code that page generates.
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="F7H82MZZ8PFKL" />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribe_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Subscribe" />
</form>
Here is the output in the console:

I have tried everything and went thru various forums, but nothing seems to be working. I have tried other buttons (Buy Now) and they are working fine. The button nor the email link is working. I have tried from a business as well as personal accounts. All email addresses associated are also verified!
As nobody was able to provide a solution I will like to post the workaround. So, the work around to this thing is using paypal's smart subscribe buttons instead of subscribe button. Or JavaScript SDK to be exact. They are working perfectly.
I am still curious about the original question. So please provide a proper answer if you know!
