Paypal no-shipping variable not working

I'm having some trouble implementing PayPal into a website. I haven't used it in a while and a lot of things have changed since.

The problem I'm having is that i specified clearly that users should not be prompted for their shipping address, however, when the "no paypal account" option is selected, the shipping info is anyways asked.

I know I should ask PayPal, but here people are smarter and kinder. =)

code:

note the: <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">

 <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<!-- Identify your business so that you can collect the payments. -->
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<!-- Specify a Buy Now button. -->
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">


<!-- Variables agregadas -->
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="notify.php">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="return.php">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="cancel_return.php">



<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="primary">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="EN">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">



<!-- Specify details about the item that buyers will purchase. -->
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Ziced id:">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR">
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">





<!-- Display the payment button. -->
<input type="image" name="submit" border="0"
src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif"
alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online">
<img alt="" border="0" width="1" height="1"
src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" >
</form>

Here's a little more information for others:

<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0"> - prompt for shipping address, but do not require one
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> - do not prompt for shipping address
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2"> - prompt for shipping address, and require one

no_shipping=1 applies to the shipping address. What you're looking at for the buyer on the 'guest checkout form' is the billing address. That's always going to be required.
