I checked the IPN and it was saying sent.</p> <p>It did however make me realise that I had the site behind the maintenance mode plugin which was blocking the messages.</p> <p>not sure if that is helpful for anyone. doh! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-ipn-failing#post-13808 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:59:28 +0000 Carl Hancock 13808@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you view the entries for that were created, do you see the PayPal information associated with these orders (ex. the Status, etc.). Do the entries appear to be working fine? How IPN works is PayPal communicates back to your server. If for any reason PayPal is unable to communicate with your server (either due to an issue on their end, or an issue on your web server) then you may receive a notice from PayPal notifying you of such error.</p> <p>You can login to your PayPal account and go to the IPN notifications and see the failed notices. You can also resend the IPN notification if necessary from PayPal using their available tools. But before doing so, compare your entry data with what is in PayPal and see if they had already resent it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-ipn-failing#post-13807 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:54:02 +0000 reverbstudios 13807@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I meant, Paypal actually sent me an email out of the blue saying there was something wrong with the return address.
