Thanks, PayPal

That's probably a leftover setting in your PayPal account from some other ecommerce solution you were using before E-junkie. PayPal would only try to notify that URL for payments you receive that didn't involve E-junkie, as we always send our own IPN requirements to PayPal for every checkout; however, repeated failures in such notifications can result in PayPal completely disabling IPN for your account, which would block our ability to process orders for you, so here's how you can fix that:

  1. Log into your PayPal account and go to [your name] > Account Settings > Website Payments > Instant Payment Notifications (←or clicking that link while logged into PayPal should take you there directly);
  2. Click the button to Edit Settings, or this may say Choose IPN Settings if PayPal has already disabled IPN for your account:

  3. Select the option to Receive IPN Messages (Enabled);
  4. Copy this link to paste in there as the Notification URL:
    https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/o_plug.php

  5. Click the Save button to apply changes.
