I have an online marketplace that utilizes the PayPal Adaptive Payments API (via PHP). My code has worked perfectly until the last few weeks (Jan 2017). Now, when a person clicks a Buy button on my site, they are directed to the PayPal home page instead of a PayPal payment screen, which interrupts the payment flow. If the user goes back and clicks Buy a second time, only then are they directed to PayPal's payment page. I haven't seen anything indicating an update to the API and I don't receive any error messages. Anyone else encountering this error?

We are experiencing the exact same problem. All of a sudden the redirect lands the user in the homepage, instead of the checkout page. When retried the user lands in the checkout page.
Test: Grab the redirect URL. Paste it on a browser's address bar. If you end up getting redirected to homepage, paste the URL again and you will be redirected to checkout page now. Paste the URL again, and you will be redirected to homepage.
