Check Your Paypal IPN Periodically...To Avoid Surprises

    I had a rash of customers complaining about NOT getting digital
    products that they orders. When I logged in to my Paypal account
    I discovered they had turned off IPN.

    When I called them they said that if they can't reach a page on
    a site, they often turn off IPN. What that did in my case was
    keep my scripts from verifying transactions, hence customers
    weren't getting what they ordered.

    Yeah is a normal procedure they make. Just 1 more of their amazingly bureaucratic rules :doh:

    I am surprised they take such actions without any intimation and even if such process was automatic, they could also automatize generation of an e-mail notice! :mad:
    Somebody needs to advise them on good business practices! :(

    Heh, I didn't even realize that you could turn IPN off. But yes, that is a pretty stupid move on their part.

    No i think that they don't turn off IPN
    But for safety purposes it may be done!
