This started happening yesterday, 1/11/23. None of our environments have changed or been updated since the new year, IPNs have been working for years. When the flow posts back to Paypal per their documentation below, these two URLs are both 404s, therefore no verification ever takes place (tested and verified in both our test and live environments). https://ipnpb.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for Sandbox IPNs) https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for live IPNs)   Your listener sends the complete message back to PayPal using HTTPS POST. Prefix the returned message with the cmd=_notify-validate variable, but do not change the message fields, the order of the fields, or the character encoding from the original message. Send response messages back to PayPal: https://ipnpb.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for Sandbox IPNs) https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for live IPNs) ... View more

I realize that there are many questions about the amount of time to deposit money, but this is a new delay.  For about 3 years, it has only taken overnight to deposit money into my Comerica account.  Paypal withdraws the money at around 10:15pm eastern, and it shows up "pending" in my comerica account the next day (granted, the funds are not available until 1 day later, but it shows up). Mondays are always difficult to reconcile because it consists of Fri, Sat, and Sun night transfers... Well, this past weekend, someone has made it that much harder, and now there's an extra day of delay in the transfer.  Sunday night's transfer doesn't show up until Tuesday. Has anyone else experienced a "new" delay, and any idea of this is on Paypal or Comerica?  It really makes it a hassle to reconcile because I sell a service which has only two price points, so the deposit amount is often the same from day to day. ...

I sell many of the same items which are the same price, so I often have the same transfer amount to my bank for 2 or more days in a row.  Since the delay between when Paypal "withdraws" the money from my paypal account, to the time it shows up in my bank account, this can be a real hassle in trying to match up what transactions are what.   When I look at a transaction number from paypal, the number looks like (this isn't really the number, but same format) 1LG14548592009093E   However, in my Comerica account when I receive the deposit, the description says "Paypal Transfer XXXXXX" where X are all digits.   It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to match the two up when I have several days of the same transfer amount, and trying to figure out which customer is linked to which deposit so I can keep my accounting software up to date.   Any ideas on matching these up better?   ...
