Body
<p>I'm trying to use Paypal IPNs on the sandbox. I have a form that submits an express checkout:</p> <pre><code><form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="my-sandbox-merchant-account@test.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item 3" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="3" /> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="5.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Comments" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP" /> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB" /> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF" /> <input type="hidden" name="test_ipn" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://myhost/my-return-url" /> <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" /> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>The payment goes through fine with my sandbox buyer account, however the IPN notifications are failing. When I click on the IPN messages in the sandbox I see that the correct notification endpoint is configured, however the message has failed, the http response code is blank, and IPN typeTransaction = "made". My logs show that my IPN endpoint hasn't received any messages (I know the endpoint is up because i've tried sending a manual POST). The message paypal is trying to send is:</p> <pre><code>handling_amount=0.00&payer_id=442H4KP3WRC9E&ipn_track_id=989ff3ead6a80&shipping=0.00 &charset=windows-1252&payment_gross= &verify_sign=ABKgD9bUbQF9WahZwd8aOs6tdcUGAteKcEga-DtOd5oNAkSSSLAh33xt &item_name=Item 3&test_ipn=1&txn_type=web_accept &receiver_id=4W89DC8YDWBUG&payment_fee=&mc_currency=GBP&transaction_subject= &custom=&protection_eligibility=Ineligible&payer_status=verified &first_name=atest&mc_gross=5.00&payment_date=14:46:44 Aug 05, 2013 PDT &payment_status=Completed&quantity=1&my-sandbox-merchant-account@test.com &item_number=3&last_name=buyer&txn_id=91L22343JY671341E&mc_fee=0.40 &resend=true&payment_type=instant&notify_version=3.7&payer_email=a-test@buyer.com &receiver_email=my-sandbox-merchant-account@test.com&tax=0.00&residence_country=US </code></pre> <p>I've tried resending the IPN multiple times, and have also tried the IPN simulator too but this just spins until the connection resets. Is this a problem with Paypal's sandbox IPN system, or have I forgotten something/am sending the wrong data on my form submit?</p> <p>If it's a problem with the sandbox IPN messaging system, what other options do I have for testing aside from on live?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
