PayPal has announce a period of scheduled enhancements that will roll out on their site starting at 7pm Wed18Feb09 and concluding by 1:30am Thu19Feb09.
If any IPNs are delayed during that window, feel free to use your Seller Admin > Send Free Download Link/Codes to satisfy concerned buyers; if you do this, you can also enter their PayPal Transaction ID into Admin > Block Transactions to prevent another link/code being issued to them once their IPN finally does come through.
