    Notice the strange characters where the text should say "It's". This looks darn suspicious to buyers and they do not complete the transaction. This has KILLED my sales today and yesterday. Anyone else?

    Yup. I've got that even when viewing through IE 7.

    true, actually it just happened recently. looks scary even to me. youi probably should send them an email and yell at them, and they'll be motivated to fix it, lazy paypal

    Whoa that is kind of strange. Paypal should definately fix that, maybe you can sue them for your loss of traffic lol.
