Error message: "This payment attempt is already processed."

My customers are having trouble checking out. They are getting a variety of error messages, the most common lately "This payment attempt is already processed." after clicking "pay now" It seems that payments are going through and emails are being sent but this error message comes up and is confusing. Can this be solved by creating a custom thank you page? Please help! Have loved using paypal and e-junkie thus far. This problem seemed to develop only after using e-junkie. I have verified that the "No, allow multiple payments perinvoice ID" is selected in my paypal settings and even tried changing the primary email in paypal.

This would be an error with PayPal, and I've seen a few reports of strange behavior at checkout today but nothing that suggests it is a wide scale problem affecting all PayPal users.



There's nothing we can do to correct or prevent PayPal errors on this end, but it sounds like the orders are being processed in our system since the buyer is getting emails from us with their order information.



If the problem persists please let us know, along with any other error messages that you hear about. If this continues we'll need that information to go to PayPal ourselves.
