    Directory owners always check payments when having a sale since some arseholes buys and cancels. Just letting you know. ;)

    True - I always check payments before approving any site that wants to advertise on my directory:)

    Admin >> System >> Payments

    If you need confirmation, you can login to your PayPal account.

    Disable the submission notice in Admin CP.

    I often receive the payment notice email and then check the link. ;)

    If you have multiple directories then add "<Directory Name> Link to {$URL}" in your directories paypal.tpl

    Now check in your paypal that which directory got payment for which link :p

    Same here.
    I go ahead and review the site when I get a payment notification.

    No, of course not.

    How to check?You can check your paypal account and see first if the payment was made and for what it was made....

    I have the submission email and payment email filtered to the same gmail label for each directory, so I can see at a glance if there's a submission without a payment. I also double check in the paypal account.

    Yup, I always check. Approved a few links before only to find out that they did not pay. Now I won't make the same mistake again :)

    Is this a php thing? The way my directory is set up I only receive emails for submissions after someone has already made payment.

    Agreed... with you on that!

    Also the dipshits that by sitewides for 1 month then cancel just for the sake of trying to
    catch that PR snapshot aren't the brightest either and next time they wont get a sitewide for wasting my time.

    Whats even funnier is the ones that submit to a few of my directories thinking that i dont know about it and
    will just accept it because i think that they paid... jokes on you as those sites are deleted instantly and IPs banned.

    I recieve all notices and wait 30 minutes for the Paypal Email if not recieved i just delete instantly.

    thx

    I have set-up different rates for different directories but use same e-mail ID for all. So when my YM notifies me of a Paypal fund --I check the mail and know which directory got the submission.:D :D
