I recieved this email shortly after an order on my site. Im a little confused why is titled paypal.sandbox as its not enabled in VM.

Can anyone shed some light on what this means? The transaction is confirmed in paypal though. I have checked all of the API info and its all correct.

INVALID

[radicalfightershop]

Just had a reply from paypal on this :-
---------------------------------------------------
Hello,

When an IPN returns a verification response of "INVALID" that does not mean the transaction was declined through PayPal. It usually means you didn't post back all the IPN variables or you were sending it to the incorrect endpoint.
Here is a link to an IPN troubleshooting guide and it will help you determine why you're receiving an "INVALID" response and give you tips on how to prevent them:

What is seems is happening with the "paypal api new" payment module is that its retained some of the sandbox paypal URLs for some reason so still posting some information to sandbox even when the sandbox function is dissabled.

Anyone any ideas for a fix in the script?

hi,

got the same problem, also using paypal api new. obviously the payment on paypal is ok.

like in the example above, i have "Response from www.sandbox.paypal.com: HTTP/1.1 200 OK".

and as radicalfightershop says: sandbox is disabled

does anyone has an idea what's wrong?

[Nyggen81]

Same problem for me on new api.
All of the transaction is ok, but still got this message...

Anyone?

Im getting  the same here to.

I have all other payment methods disabled, sandbox off, all correct API usernames, signatures, etc.

The checkout process seems to work fine, payments are taken, but a few minutes late I get an eMail as in the above posts
 
Invalid PayPal IPN Transaction on your site

Has anyone resolved this problem or have any advice on how to remedy it?

Thanks,

[sandstorm]

Ive solved my own issue here, which was down to my own user error.

I had set everything up correctly but hadnt been into to the PayPal account and set the IPN URL backto the notify.php script in the website.

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/notify.php

After entering this URL and enabling the IPN in paypal (struggled to find it but with a quick "IPN" search in the paypal account, stumbled upon it) I have stopped getting ther IPN error message and now get a IPN success email, saying that order has been confirmed.

HTH

Thank Sandstorm, guessed it was that simple!

[FrankA]

Or maybe not, made the change by setting IPN just rechecked path was correct, it is.

But the first sale following this has worked and is confirmed, the IPN history in the paypal account is good, but still after the confirmation e-mail for the order a second e-mail with this INVALID message?

[FrankA]

Logic suggest that this is a bug in the PayPal API.

Paypal API history is showing that it sent confirmation.

Email sent from VM after processing the order and sending confirmed ordrer... it then generates an INVALID response. As this second does not show in the Paypal history then I presume the error is in the listener.

Are the actual IPN messages received from Paypal stored within VM directories/ or database on the site?

[FrankA]

Getting one after every sale... on the plus side no problems with the sale, just this bug in the code and it is way beyond my limited php skills to work out why.
