Well I haven't fixed this but I think I have possibly found the problem. The paypal.php file lists the UK currency as GBP whereas in the currency set up in the OsC admin panel it is termed GB£ and when you go the Paypal checkoput the zero value is listed as GBP.
I have tried setting the currency symbol from GB£ to GBP but all that does is wipe all the displayed prices on the site to zero. I think I am on the right track here with what could be wrong. I just have to figure out the solution.
Hope this post sparks someone, with greater mental powers than I, on a train of thought that might solve this.
heres hoping.
