I'm using a simple PHP front-page to send my clients to PayPal to pay their entry-fee. PayPal then returns a notify.php page and a return.php page that give me the necessary info to process the transaction. It all works fine in Sandbox. When I switch to live, I change the email to my merchant email, point to PayPal live instead of Sandbox, and set var SANDBOX to 0. Again it seems to work, I tried with my own credit-card, payment was processed and merchant received return.php that indicates all fine. Yet no credit card charge occurred, and the merchant account did not get any money. Any feedback welcome. Thanks, Matt
