Can i suggest all posts about Paypal IPN get posted in this thread. Makes it easier to sort through all the problems and solutions people have.

Overview
Allows the store owner to choose between sending an aggregate cart total to PayPal or to upload the cart on an individual item basis that then enables the customer to also view the contents of the cart whilst on the PayPal site and for both customer and store owner to then receive an itemized PayPal invoice receipt.

Configure PayPal's payment page customization parameters.

Utilizes PayPal's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) to automatically update the store's database, regardless of whether they click the PayPal Continue button to return to the site (store) or not .

IPN transactions can then be viewed in the osC admin section along with their corresponding order.

Downloadable media only available once PayPal verifies that the payment is Complete.

eCheck (pending payments) Compatible. Including compatibility with pre approving (in your PayPal account profile) payments prior to their acceptance.

I have installed the latest IPN v 3.1.5 and have everything working (i think) except i cannot get the tax to transfer over to the paypal site. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they fix it?

I have posted also in the oscommerce forums but no replies yet.

I would be happy to answer any other questions about ipn as i have ran into several problems along the way to get this far. Particularly if you can fix my problem too! :)
