I was editing my sales page for a site that my webmaster put up for me because I wasn't sure how to add the paypal code to the "click here to order" button. As i was editing a few things, I notices that the code that you get from paypal to make payment buttons, had his email address in it just above mine. If you need more information, let me know. thanks sweetpea
Thats not good, he must be screwing you! There are two emails though? Or is there only one and its his?
before i say he taking your money, i would love to see the code he used. just blank out he emails adresses and post it here. Peter

the line with his mail is commented out with the <!--- in the beginning commented out means, it is in the code but not in effect the one in effect is the line with your addy if you use php at your site it can well be, that he has a php script rotating which email shows up.
thanks so much for everyone's help.....that takes a load off my mind..... God Bless and Continued Success sweetpea
You should read happy's post before being so sure. He is correct that it COULD be rotating which email address receives the payments so that you continue to get some money but so does he.
I'm not sure how anyone deduces a rotating script because there is a commented line in the page. The two have absolutely nothing in common. True, you cannot see what is happening on every page request, but if a webmaster takes the time to install a rotating script, then he is probably not careless enough to leave his own paypal account info on the page. Besides that, his paypal account wouldn't have ever needed to be there in the first place. This is some webmaster that was testing and forgot to remove his own paypal account info.
thats what i thought as well, but i´ve seen many blatant scam attempts, and there are even much more stupider people.
Apparently there is a nice amount of code missing over there, first there is a comment start rule, and the end rule is missing (it could be anywhere, if the code is as you have pasted, the whole code would not work starting from the <!--- ) Aside that, the inputs are not closed and there are "" missing for the webmasters email (is the exact code like that?) Now what is more important is...is there any code like --> after the webmasters email ?! If there is, it means that the input where the webmasters email is handled is not being active and it is being ignored, unless (like someone above mentioned) there isn't a javascript or a php rule that "rotates" those two emails. Hope this helps..kinda
This is not the whole code, but it's the part that had his email address in it. The "" were left off by me.....when i changed the addresses, i didn't put them back in.
Thanks again for everyone's help in this matter. I've also posted another question this morning. God Bless
