I suspect the VPN might be causing the issue. Your best bet would be to turn off the VPN just for this transaction, but if you must use it, you could try switching to a different proxy server in a different (US) location. There’s a chance that PayPal will act squirrelly if it doesn’t like the IP address you’re connecting from.

I’ve asked Elad to check into this thread (it’s still a little early on the west coast though).
