Paypal - accept Terms & Conditions not working

Question

This is a problem reported several times with many possible solutions.

Customer is redirected from Paypal back to website https://www.example_website.com/paypal/express/review/ page. He has to check that he agrees with terms & conditions. But after checking that and clicking "Place Order" button, he's redirected back to the same page with message "You need to accept Terms & Conditions in order to proceed" or "Order payment Failed. Please try again later..."

I have tried

• changing skin/frontend/base/default/js/checkout/review.js file (Place Order Button disabled with Virtual Products, PayPal Express, and Terms and Conditions)
• changing app/design/frontend/base/default/template/paypal/express/review.phtml file (https://community.magento.com/t5/Magento-1-x-Technical-Issues/Payment-process-failed-because-checkboxes-button-does-not-work/m-p/33826#M3194)
• installing this extension (https://github.com/magento-hackathon/Sandfox_RemovePaypalExpressReviewStep)
• installing this extension (https://github.com/thinklikeamage/Stabilis_PaypalExpressRedirect)

and other numerous solutions I cannot recall, but nothing really worked.

Does anybody know the source of this issue? It started as soon as I enabled Terms and Agreements in checkout. Before that, all payments through Paypal were completed normally.

As I cannot comment I have to do it through this way, but maybe you should take a look at this topic. Maybe it holds some information to get you back on track: Validation of the terms and conditions (custom module)

Check the HTTP requests and their content. Is the value of the key called agreements_id empty?
