try reinstalling the latest paypal module. Go in the admin copy your paypal setting then hit remove. Then upload overwrite your old paypal files.

zencartroot/ipn_main_handler.php

zencartroot/includes/modules/payment/paypal

zencartroot/includes/modules/payment/paypal.php

This may solve the issue.

Paypal IPN. my problem is that quantity and item name still not showing up on paypalThat is normal with PayPal IPN transactions.
If you want detailed PayPal receipts, use Express Checkout.

If your PayPal IPN orders are not showing in Zen Cart, you have a communication problem from PayPal back to your Zen Cart store: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal

Also- be sure to turn on and configure the admin's copy of the payment confirmation.
