PayPal Sandbox & Relist/Expires Questions
Hi All - I'm testing placing Ads, using the PayPal Sandbox, and I have a few questions:
1. If I select "Yes" for "Enable PayPal IPN" and a user places an ad and pays through PayPal, I am still shown the "Click here to publish your ad on CitySpry" button on the PayPal screen. I would assume that since it is paid for immediately, I wouldn't see the "Click here to publish..." button. The site does actually post the ad whether or not I click the button. Is this button supposed to be here when "Enable PayPal IPN" equals "Yes"?
2. Even though the "New Ad Status" field (Settings >> Listings) is equal to "Pending Review", I'm still not given the option to Approve an Ad before it goes live. This is true when "Enable PayPal IPN" is either "Yes" or "No". Does this setting only work when Ads are Free?
3. What's the best way to quickly test the "Relist" & Expires functionality? I tried to expire the Ad by changing the cp_sys_expire_date field to a date/time before the current data/time, then changing the "Run Ads Expired Check Now:" field to "Yes" (Settings >> Advanced), but the Ad does not get set to expired and the Relist link is not displayed on the Dashboard. Also, I do have Prune Ads = Yes & Cron Job Schedule = Twice Daily.
4. In the "Gateways" section, I have selected "Yes" for the "Enable IPN Debug:" field. I am receiving emails, but I am unsure what emails I am supposed to receive. For example, I've received:
a. PayPal IPN Debug Email Test IPN
b. PayPal IPN Debug Email Main
c. IPN Verified
d. Validation post isn't from PayPal
Is there a list of emails that we should expect?
5. To follow up on 4d above, the "Validation post isn't from PayPal" email has the word "fail" in the body of the email, and that is it. Do you know what this means? Did I set something up wrong or is there an error?
Thank you for your help in advance!
