So, I managed to find the URL that needs to be placed in the Paypal IPN settings (in the Paypal profile pages).

It's www.yourdomain.co.uk/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/notify.php

I've added this to my sanbox paypal site config, but, I dont know if it's really working.

The strange thing is, if I don't have IPN activated in my Paypal profile, then when a user clicks to "confirm order" from my cart, it takes them straight to the credit card details page of the Paypal Standard Payments screen. This enables people who dont have paypal to pay me via credit/debit card

BUT, when i have IPN activated, and the user clicks to "confirm order", they go to the annoying Paypal screen whereby the main screen is taken up the Paypal username/password login details, and there's a tiny little link for people without Paypal accounts to click, and then they finally see the credit card details page. Not good. This would no doubt put off customers who dont see the little link, and therefore assume they need a paypal account, dont want one, and so exit the cart before paying.

So, i suspect this is because the IPN isnt working properly, but I dont really know?

Anyone else seen this problem?
