Somehow when a buyers email address was sent to my data base it looks like this:

Nicole-btt3m766kgi@checkout.google.com

When the email is actually xx###@gmail.com



$time = date("m/j/Y g:i:s");

$email = $POST['payeremail'];

$item = $POST['itemname'];

$qty = $_POST['quantity'];

$code = $_POST['key'];



mysql_query("INSERT INTO orders (paydate, username, items, qty, code) VALUES ('$time', '$email', '$item', '$qty', '$code')");



Thats my code. Any insight as to why Im getting a name / encrypted email sent to my database would be appreciated.

That would be due to a preference the buyer selected. Buyers can tell Google Checkout to hide their real email address, so in that case GC would generate a fake email to reveal to the seller, though I think that forwards to the buyer's real email address. Consult GC help pages or support staff if you have further questions about that.
