This is what i've seen in the log?? some of the personal data i've changed to something like mysite.com my address, the log seems no problem??

That's only the first part of the transaction ... ie: the part that is prepared BEFORE sending to Paypal ... it shows what got sent.
If you're not getting any other logs, then PayPal's server is not successfully reaching *your* server ... which is why you're never seeing anything more about the transactions.

hi i don't have any other thing for log, that means paypal have trouble try to communicate back to my godaddy host ? so any suggestion to find out and solve it for a new zenner?? :)

Also, switching to Express Checkout instead of Website Payments Standard/IPN will avoid the problems you mention.

Have you tried Express Checkout, as I suggested earlier?

[colin0502]

i couldn't since i don't have a business paypal yet, is this is the only option though?

[DrByte]

PayPal allows you to have 2 accounts: one personal, and one business/premier.
If you want to keep your personal one for personal things, that's fine. Your store will need a business account or a premier account.

[colin0502]

yes i have a premier a/c however seems express checkout requires api that is something business account could have only, isnt it ?

[DrByte]

Both Premier and Business accounts can handle Express Checkout transactions

ok before this i hire some programmer to solve the ipn basic, hope i can understand what he changed afterward if he done, if this cannot be done i'll try use express checkout instead to see what happen, thanks for replying dr.byte
