Some of my customers are not able to pay throgh paypal - the get the message that the e-mail address given buy the seller is not valid.
But then again others are able to shop just fine.

Anyone know what's wrong?

I expirienced the same issue. I asked PayPal Merchant Tech. Support and got this answer from them:

# 1: refers to a known bug in the Paypal system, where our system has problems to process special characters.

# 2: refers to error (English) "There is a problem with the email address supplied by the seller.... ".
This used to be an error on the system.

Nothing more, nothing less, still don't know if they gonna fix the issue and I am sure I am still loosing orders from customers which are just using the "exit" button

all of a sudden i stopped getting order notification but payment is received in paypal. whats up with that.

IPN WARNING::Currency/Amount Mismatch is the only debugging error message.

- "when" did they get this error message ?

- can it be easily reproduced on demand ?

- can we locate a customer willing to help test (and of course be refunded for test purchases)?

It would tell you the currencies and amounts as part of that message. What were they?

usd usd

as i read earlier...there is a comma in one and not the other. maybe thats the problem.

i uploaded the last two paypal modules so now i will wait to see what happens.
