change the title and it works

What version of the product are you using? On what version of Plone? How
did you install it (tarball vs buildout vs...)?

Products.PloneGetPaid-0.7.5

Please provide any additional information below.

in /Products.PloneGetPaid-0.7.5/Products/PloneGetPaid/content.py
we have
class ShippableItemFactory( LineItemFactory ):

    def createLineItem( self, payable, quantity ):

        nitem = item.PayableShippableLineItem()
        nitem.item_id = self.content.UID() # archetypes uid

        # we use intids to reference content that we can dereference cleanly
        # without access to context.
        nitem.uid = component.getUtility( IIntIds ).register( self.content )

        # copy over information regarding the item
        nitem.name = self.content.Title()
but nitem.name is a string 

just above in class LineItemFactory( object ) 

we have
nitem.name = getUnicodeString( self.content.Title() )
where getUnicodeString
def getUnicodeString( s ):
            """Try to convert a string to unicode from utf-8, as this is what
Archetypes uses"""
            ...

I use as payable standard content objects and for me
nitem.name = self.content.title #  <type 'unicode'>

seems to work

I had this problem also.
And after checking each solution I have refactored 
Products/PloneGetPaid/content.py a
little and have included the patch.

Attached you can find the patch against svn revision 2719. Someone with 
permission
should check this patch and commit it to the trunk.

I don't use anymore getpaid.paypal (I don't want to share my experience with my
customers). I just wanted to say I solve all my Unicode problems by patching 
base.py
see issue Issue 242
