Heelo I seem to have a similar problem, the transaction goes through, the user gets sent back to my site, I get an email:
Connection Type
------------------------------------------------------
curl= 1, socket= , domain= www.paypal.com, port=
PayPal Response
------------------------------------------------------
VERIFIED
BUT trhe stock is not reduced by the number of articles purchasd AND the order is still ,marked as 'payment pending' as well as the IPN in admin shows no activity.
Any idea. I have copied the ipn.php file to the root dir of the shop as per previous thread.
Any idea what could be wrong?
