PayPal IPN error

[DrByte]

I have never had any reliable success with PayPal's sandbox.

So, I never trust it ... and also don't support troubleshooting with it.

Here's all the troubleshooting steps summarized:

address = ********** AT hotmail DOT com

9.72 | converted_amount = 9.00 | order_amount = 9

Zen and paypal have not been set in the taxes Paypal is charging tax in your state and zen

During development of my store I'd passworded the directory to stop others entering and buying prior to the luanch of the site. This blocked the PAYPAL IPN return. Once I removed the password access everything worked OK. I havnt tested this whilst the store is in UNDER MAINTENANCE MODE but this may cause the same issues

Paypal doesn't work while down-for-maintenance either.
