    With respect, your post contains so little information it's impossible to give you any answers. One can't even accurately assume that you're getting the exact same symptoms, let alone error message, based on so little detail.
    Please click Reply below and answer all the questions in the Posting Tips section on that page, and be sure to include exact error message information and exact steps that can consistently trigger the problem on multiple different computers and different browsers.

    We have just received an email from PayPal saying that that IPNs are failing and in fact they have disabled them.

    When I looked at the PayPal Express settings in the shop it was saying that ipn_main_handler.php should be in the root directory instead of in the shop where it actually resides.

    The shop isn't live yet but tested successfully with paypal express in May, so must have had the correct address in then. The errors are more likely to be coming from a donations button that has been on the site for a few years.

    Can zencart 1.50 co-exist with paypal payment buttons ?

    Yes, but the Instant Payment Notification URL you specified in your PayPal's account profile settings must point to a link that actually responds properly.
    If it doesn't respond, then PayPal will send you the notice you're reporting.

    I've rechecked the link to the root directory and it does work correctly

    So all I need now is to discover is how to turn off IPN on Pay Pals own buttons ...............
