After we do DoExpressCheckoutPayment - resulting in payment status Completed or failing with some other status - is there any IPN sent from PayPal?
Yes, DECP sends IPN notifications. If you're not getting them make sure you have IPN enabled either through your profile or by the NOTIFYURL parameter in your request. Then check the IPN History in your PayPal account and your web server logs for details on whether or not the script is getting hit or not, and if there might be an error keeping it from running correctly.

We always get this message from paypal. The payments are going in and the url in the message is correct.
Is there a way to stop these messages?

IPNs to that URL are failing. You can see the log somewhere at PayPal. You must fix your IPN handler. Check its logs too.
I got an email from paypal saying:
>Hello <>,
>Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment
>Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:
>
>url--

Is anyone familiar with this? We got 1 payment that made through today, it updated the database and all but still I am concern if this email will be a threat to our website.
I tested the IPN url using the IPN stimulator and it worked fine. Should I need to change my IPN setting? Some forums are saying to turn off the IPN notifications. Should I assume that this is coming from the server refusing to accept the Paypal IPN? I'm so confused on what to do with this problem, let alone my client also knows.
I checked my site error logs but I couldn't find any new errors related to the my paypal IPN listener.
thanks,
If the warning message you are receiving is showing "url--", you may want to double check:
- the value set up in your PayPal Profile > Instant Payment Notification
- or the value you have inserted in your integration in the variable "notify_url" (if you are using Website Payment Standard or "PAYMENTREQUEST_n_NOTIFYURL" (if you are using API).
When you receive an IPN warning message, I'd recommend to check your IPN history (in your PayPal account) to check what is the HTTP response that your server is returning to PayPal.
You can test your IPN listener here

Can we use data-notify-url attribute to received IPN?
script(src='paypal-button.min.js?merchant=username#email.com', data-button='buynow', data-name='My product', data-amount='1.00', data-env='sandbox', data-notify_url='http://example.com/ipn')
The payment was successful but it seems specified notify_url wasn't called.
I also used Instant Payment Notification (IPN) simulator and enter my notify_url but encountered the error below:
IPN Delivery Failed:503 Service Unavailable
But looking at the logs of my application, I can see the notify_url was called.
I used web accept as transaction type.
This just looks like your Backend-Script (may it be PHP or anything else) is currently not available.
It can happen due to a server overload.
The 503 is a HTTP-ErrorCode so it has nothing to do with PayPal. PayPal tries to send the IPN to you and your web-server responds with a 503 error.
We seem to be having an issue with a customer who has a cubecart store and Paypal IPN. The issue is that the IPN notification URL's were working and changing the order status upon a successful purchase, but now it seems to have stopped working. The orders go through ok and the item appears in the Paypal account, but it is not updating the order status on the store (goes from pending to processing automatically).
Check your IPN history in your account. First verify that the IPN is being sent out. If the IPN log shows the IPN being sent out, see if it is in a failed or retrying status. Also look at the details of the IPN message and see if it shows the status code that is being returned back from your site. The IPN system expects a 200ok response to be returned. If there is a different status code, this may help to determine the cause of the issue. Also, double check with your hosting provider if hosting with a 3rd party to make sure they haven't done any updates to firewalls or proxy's that may have affected your script.
PayPal is sending the VERIFIED message to my IPN listener but my IPN History shows a FAILED status. The IPN History also shows a 404 error. The code I am using for my listener can be found here: https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/developer/IPN_PHP_41.txt. I am testing this with sandbox. How can I be receiving a VERIFIED response from Paypal but yet the IPN History shows a failed STATUS with a 404 error? Shouldn't PayPal be sending an INVALID response since the IPN History status is failed?
VERIFIED has nothing to do with how the transactions appear in your ipn history. How you respond to the original ipn post is what determines what shows in your ipn history.
If your ipn history says it's receiving a 404 response, then you need to check your ipn script and stop sending a 404 response.
If it were any other error, since you are using PayPal's script, I would bet you didn't change the environment variable/the URLs to match your environments. With a 404 though, you're telling the client (paypal in this case) that the page they want doesn't exist, even if you're still reading the data
