Your payment_status is 'pending' and the pending reason is 'unilateral'.
You would not see the funds in PayPal. Basically, PayPal is waiting to deliver the funds....
You need to check with paypal and make sure that your email address is confirmed, and that it is entered correct in opencart (e.g. check for typeos)

I've been testing PayPal payments and received the IPN as expected on my staging/sandbox environment. However I noticed that the IPN for refunds are not being sent. I have verified this against my application as well as the Sandbox business account and the IPN history only shows the payment but not the refunded IPN. The payment history do however reflect the refunded status of the payments.
Can someone tell me if this is an expected behaviour since both the IPN history and the payment records do not tally? Thanks.
This is similar to the issue reported on but there's been no reply since: PayPal refunds not generating IPN anymore
I would advise you to get in touch with the PayPal team to check on this. We will need more information to check on this. You may get back to us via the link below.

Thank you.
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--

>If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider

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

So this is probably more of a discussion item so I apologise if this should go elsewhere.
But I need to handle Responses (IPN) from using Paypal MassPay API.
At the moment I'm handling the Notifications correctly and tracking past payments made (Royalty Payments System).
Problem 1: Unclaimed Payments
But I've encountered an issue which I can't seem to handle on the sandbox site and that is Unclaimed payments. Now according to MassPay guide:
If the recipients do not have PayPal accounts, PayPal notifies them that a payment is available and they must create a PayPal account to receive the payment.
I assume this means that Paypal sends the user an email, I tried to test this but I received no notification
Problem 2: Claiming unclaimed Payments
Following the previous problem, I've been unable to test users claiming unclaimed values. So I'm wondering does anybody know how Paypal processes these and the format of the response;
Does the response contain all previously claimed payments?
Does the response contain all unclaimed payments?
Does the response contain the status of all transfers in that transaction?
Thank you in advance
When you send out your MassPay request, any unclaimed payments will be pending until they're claimed. Your IPN will show "processed" instead of "completed" for the status. Once they claim the payment you will get another IPN showing the payment has been completed.
When working in the sandbox you won't get any actual emails from their system. All test emails show up in your developer.paypal.com account under the test email section there.
When I try to place a payment in the Sandbox using the Paypal Adaptive Payments API, I get a SUCCESS response from the API:
PayResponse
paymentExecStatus CREATED
ack Success
build 2050734
timestamp 2011-09-19T17%3A02%3A23.409-07%3A00
However, if the Sandbox user (payment review disabled) is a non-American, the Sandbox won't allow the payment to go all the way through and instead sends the buyer to an Error screen.
Any ideas?
Without the error you're getting it's guesswork, but I think the account you're using to receive payments likely doesn't payments accept in the currency you're sending it in. Either change this setting in the Profile (Payment Receiving Preferences or Website Payments Preferences) or open a balance in that specific currency.
I'm working with oscommerce and i have problem with Paypal ipn When someone makes a payment, even though the money is coming through OK, on the backend of the website it is saying it is unverified
something like that
: PayPal IPN Verified [Completed (Unverified; $99.90).
I get the email "Notification of payment received" so why is it still pending?
any idea?
Thanks in advance
The "Unverified" there may mean the buyer has not finished the Paypal account/address verification process.
This information is included in the variable payer_status:
Possible Values
verified Customer has a Verified PayPal account.
unverified Customer has an Unverified PayPal account.
