IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing   ************************   If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.   Thanks,   PayPal     Well, I read in the forum that EVERYONE was having a hard time gettin Paypal to respond.  I called them up and the customer service rep knew exactly what the problem was and gave me the solution.  Here is the email he sent me:     > Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns.
