I also had this problem and ended up installing oscommerces paypal IPN thinking in addition to its better features it might also solve this problem. It didnt. I did fix however by making sure the code for your currency in localized settings is exactly the same as that specified in the paypal module (in administration area). In my case for australian dollars i had AUS instead of AUD. If you have the above correct you might want to check your paypal is setup for AUD and there is also a contribution for this but i have not tried it, http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2865

Hi i havent really got into testing it yet but can give you some answers.... 1. Paypal IPN under customers will list you payment notifications once you have any. 2. You dont need to specify a url to get it to work, as it says in FAQs for contribution. 3. IPN test panel, if you click on the ipn test panel in the payment module in admin and then on help it gives you instructions as to how to use it. Unless i am mistaken it basically lets you test the ipn without going through into paypals payment screen. It is basicually another testing environment without using sandbox. Hope that helps a bit.

I figured out my own problem. In case someone else is having the same problem of the total amount not being passed to paypal then make sure the code for your currency in localized settings is exactly the same as that specified in the paypal module (in administration area). In my case for australian dollars i had AUS instead of AUD. My next problem is that the tax is not transferring across. Seems like alot of people in this thread also have the same problem but through my searching no-one has answered them unless i missed it. Has anyone ran into this problem and fixed it?

Ok, I have searched hundreds of replies in this thread (and some others) but i cannot find the information i need. I have installed version IPN v3.1.5 but i cannot get the total price OR an itemized list of the shopping cart. As a test i have continued to the next page in paypal and the customer information IS transferring correctly?? I have seen some threads about how oscommerce handles sessions can effect paypal and have tried turning off (and on) using safe urls and forcing cookies. But this does not seem to fix the problem. I can only thing it has something to do with my security certificate. I use a shared certificate with my hosting package, could this be the problem (this is with powweb for those that also use them). Although it would'nt explain why the customer information is comming across but not the total or cart. Is there some settings in paypal that i could have missed? Would appreciate any help on this.
