PayPal not sending IPN's ??

seems like i'm seeing paypal problems on almost a weekly basis lately..

earlier tonight i stopped getting IPN's - if anyone else uses PayPal IPN's please check and verify you are receiving them, and post if if you are or aren't... I get the email notification - but the IPN never makes it to my site..

 

well - a few hours after i posted this all of my missing IPNs came in.. I guess they were just running a bit behind schedule..

 

Same here. Had some IPN problems.

 

I've been all over the net and this isn't isolated. PayPal is having serious issues with IPN right now.

 

Same here. I use two different payment processors...both going through PayPal. Both are missing IPNs.

 

by the way can someone tell me a little about ipn as i have heard of it for the first time.

 

IPN stands for Instant Payment Notification. Simply put, it helps us know when payments have gone through for purchases our customers make so we can move the purchase process along without human intervention. It's excellent for digital download stores. This is the first issue I have had with PayPal. Hopefully it won't last long.
