<form method="post">
        <select id="select" name="valor">
            <option value="" selected="selected">...</option>
            <option value="5"> 5</option>
            <option value="10"> 10</option>
            <option value="15"> 15</option>
            <option value="20"> 20</option>
            <option value="25"> 25</option>
            <option value="30"> 30</option>
            <option value="35"> 35</option>
            <option value="40"> 40</option>
            <option value="45"> 45</option>
            <option value="50"> 50</option>
            <option value="55"> 55</option>
            <option value="60"> 60</option>
            <option value="65"> 65</option>
            <option value="70"> 70</option>
            <option value="75"> 75</option>
            <option value="80"> 80</option>
            <option value="85"> 85</option>
            <option value="90"> 90</option>
            <option value="95"> 95</option>
            <option value="100"> 100</option>
            <option value="105"> 105</option>
            <option value="110"> 110</option>
            <option value="115"> 115</option>
            <option value="120"> 120</option>
            <option value="125"> 125</option>
        </select>
    </form>

And i want to pass to the paypal button in the amount. Here's the code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">                 
    <table width="90%" align='center' border=0>
        <tr>
            <td width='130px'>
                <img src="<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>themes/<?=$SETTINGS['theme']?>/img/paypal_small_logo.gif" alt='' width="124" height="39" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
                <input type="hidden" name="custom" value='<?= $_SESSION['payment_type'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['auction_id'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['TPL_id_hidden'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['pre_registration'] ?>'>
                <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
                <input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?=$SETTINGS['admin_paypal']?>">
                <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Auction Bid">
                <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="001">
                <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<? echo $_POST['valor']?>">
                <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
                <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
                <input type='hidden' name='return' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>payment_history.php'>
                <input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>yourbalance.php'>
                <input type='hidden' name='notify_url' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>payment_processing.php'>
                <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="<?=$SETTINGS['currency']?>">
                <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="EN">
                <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF">                         
              </td>
            <td>
                <input class="button"  type="submit" value="Pay with Paypal" name="submit"  alt="PayPal">                           
           </td>
       </tr>
    </table>
</form>

Unless you put the valor select inside the paypal form with the name amount you will need to submit the first form so that PHP can apply the values in the response.

You can do something like this to avoid submitting the first form:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">                 
    <table width="90%" align='center' border=0>
        <tr>
            <td width='130px'>
                <img src="<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>themes/<?=$SETTINGS['theme']?>/img/paypal_small_logo.gif" alt='' width="124" height="39" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
                <input type="hidden" name="custom" value='<?= $_SESSION['payment_type'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['auction_id'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['TPL_id_hidden'] ?>==<?=$_SESSION['pre_registration'] ?>'>
                <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
                <input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?=$SETTINGS['admin_paypal']?>">
                <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Auction Bid">
                <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="001">
                <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
                <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
                <input type='hidden' name='return' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>payment_history.php'>
                <input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>yourbalance.php'>
                <input type='hidden' name='notify_url' value='<?=$SETTINGS['siteurl']?>payment_processing.php'>
                <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="<?=$SETTINGS['currency']?>">
                <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="EN">
                <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF">

                <select id="select" name="amount">

Maybe this is the reason:

<option value="[you forgot the value for the first option LOL]" selected="selected">...</option>

I couldn't see any other problem.
