Paypal Parallel payments with Expresscheckout not showing descriptions

Question

I use the following parameters to make a parallel payment using the express checkout.

`USER=<USR>' .
'&PWD=<PWD>' .
'&SIGNATURE=<SIGNATURE>' .
'&METHOD=SetExpressCheckout' .
'&RETURNURL=http://example.com/success.html' .
'&CANCELURL=http://example.com/canceled.html' .
'&VERSION=93' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=USD' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=250' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=225' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT=25' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Sale' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_DESC=Product A' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME=Product A' .            
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID=<SELLER1-PAYPALEMAIL>' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTREQUESTID=CART345-PAYMENT0' .              
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_CURRENCYCODE=USD' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_AMT=75' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_ITEMAMT=65' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_TAXAMT=10' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_PAYMENTACTION=Sale' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_DESC=Extra Fee' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_NAME=Extra Fee' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID=<SELLER2-PAYPALEMAIL>' .
'&PAYMENTREQUEST_1_PAYMENTREQUESTID=CART543-PAYMENT1';`

I get a token back and an ACK success but when I submit this token using

'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token='<TOKEN>;'

The confirmation page is displayed but there are no product descriptions. I get 2 items in the summary

'SELLER1 name 225 
Tax 25
SELLER2 name  65
Tax10        
Total         325'

I was expecting

'SELLER1 name
 Product A     225
 Tax 25
 SELLER2 name
 Extra Fee      65
 Total         325'

Does any body know how to get this result.

Thanks

In order to display line items on the checkout page, you must pass line item variables. They begin with "L_"
