    Default PayPal Express not taking money for its generated accounts

    Hi,

    My Paypal express is the only payment module enabled. I have 1.3.8 Zen Cart. Payments go through perfectly when the user has used Zen Cart to create an account, but not when paypal creates the account. We're freaking out because we are now going to have to contact customers and ask them to re-buy. We are afraid we have now lost those customers.

    Here is the debug log file I generated when replicating:

    Jul 22 2008 13:42 -- IPN FATAL ERROR :: Could not establish fsockopen.

    Default Re: PayPal Express not taking money for its generated accounts

    Okay, for some reason, that one DID go through just fine. And I can't replicate the problem, but it has happened before I turned debugging on. I checked the Paypal live status page, and found that two of the orders did not go through during the times they say there was a problem. So..... if it turns out that the only problem is that PayPal's servers weren't working, what is my recourse!?! Do I now have to go to the customer and say there was a problem, please re-order? Is there a way to get the money and ship the order without bothering the customer?!? Do I call PayPal to make the order "Good" or is it lost forever?

    Thanks for any help!

    Let me reiterate that 3 orders that were made by PayPal express where the customer account was generated by PayPal did not go through even though there was a confirmation of the order, and they did not take place during PayPal server "Down Time" -- still worried this will happen again, don't know what's wrong.

    ipncheck.php would be more appropriate.

    Why are you using a proxy server?
    Does your hosting company require it?

    Since you never got the payment, it is likely that the customer never got charged either.
    Thus, you could go into your PayPal account and send a money-request to the customer, perhaps after telephoning them and explaining that there was a problem with the original transaction and payment wasn't completed. They can of course check their PayPal account for verification before sending you payment via your money request.

    If for some reason they "did" get charged, but you didn't get the money, you'll need their transaction ID to contact PayPal to find the money.

    Thank you for your response! I am using GoDaddy and they require a proxy server. The customer was never charged, so we will try what you suggested in dealing with the customers that have placed these orders. I will try using ipncheck and report back.

    Default Re: PayPal Express not taking money for its generated accounts

    What could be causing the error above in the ipncheck for SSL? And why would I be able to place orders at all and they work? I noticed that even though we do not have a CC module enabled (the only payment module enabled is PayPal Express, an order that did not go through said "cc" next to it in the orders list in the admin area, instead of saying "paypalwpp" like all the others do. How could that even happen when no other module is enabled? I completely uninstalled that module so it doesn't happen again, and unistalled all other payment modules other than PayPal Express. So, now I am left with this error in the ipncheck return output that I know will cause problems... any idea as to what causes that error, so I can try some things? Thanks for any help.
