I tried buying the story, and I got this:

exception 'Exception' with message 'Failed to pay. Response from paypal was [REDACTED, but to the extent of, "invalid argument"] Sorry, this didn't actually work--probably the paypal authentication didn't go through, or something like that...

So, what do I do ? Do you have my money ? If not, how can I give you some ?

Argh, sorry, that's two strikes against my sitebuilding. I don't have your money; you could try again, or I could just email it to you. Might help if you PM'd me the full error message.

I got that same error, and no access to the full text; but upon later inspection of my paypal account the payment actually went through. That's the kind of error that tends to upset people; you might want to take the site down or convert the pay button into a tip button while leaving the text open, until you're certain you have that fixed.

Gah! Please, if this happens to anyone, just email me at at histocrat@gmail.com and I'll send you the book. I'll put up a warning on the site. This seems like a Paypal glitch; I'll try to get support from them.

Message sent. I can probably just PayPal you $3 to the email address that you'd listed in your own error message wrapper -- would that work ?

Thanks! The email that's linked to my paypal is histocrat@gmail.com.
