Hello Ryan,

That looks like PDT and not IPN. PDT uses tx. The rest of the variables you should ignore. You should focus on what you get back from our server on the post back from us. Please review the PDT guide:

Please reply if you have further questions.

I presume this because its the only variable that come in Uppercase and has the possible value of Pending. But bummer for me, switching that value in the URL to Completed does not push the order to a status that will display the links to the downloadable media. From PayPal

So these variables being returned are actually PDT values, not IPN

Description

amt Amount of the transaction

cc Currency code

cm Custom message

st Transaction status

tx Transaction ID/PDT token

So I presume st ( Transaction status) is like payment_status. I presume this because its the only variable that come in Uppercase and has the possible value of Pending.
But bummer for me, switching that value in the URL to Completed does not push the order to a status that will display the links to the downloadable media.

I have tried Accept, Closed, Accepted, but all after the fact I email Godaddy and they claim not to block anything that would prevent the IPN from doing its job <blockquote> We do not block any sort of information like the PayPal IPN. You may want to contact PayPal directly or the author of the plugin's you are using to perform this automation. </blockquote> This leave me at a PayPal setting that will return Accepted or Closed or what ever, or hacking WP e-Commerce to always set the status to what ever WP e-Commerce wants in order to release the download link. Seems like a lot of freaking work in order to sell an MP3 Still working on this while installing a different cart
the URL from PayPal looks something like
http://www.domainname.com/location/transaction-results/?sessionid=851125571xxxx&gateway=paypal&tx=2V6885633X99xxx&st=Pending&amt=0.01&cc=EUR&cm=&item_number=

st=Pending is what gets my attention

We do not block any sort of information like the PayPal IPN. You may want to contact PayPal directly or the author of the plugin’s you are using to perform this automation.

This leave me at a PayPal setting that will return Accepted or Closed or what ever, or hacking WP e-Commerce to always set the status to what ever WP e-Commerce wants in order to release the download link. Seems like a lot of freaking work in order to sell an MP3
