I've downloaded and installed the Paypal Library, and also made the modifications to the code that is suggested in the Wiki.

I'm using a sandbox Paypal account, and my transactions are happening. Money is transferring from one account to the other, as it should.

The POST data coming back from PayPal exists. the Payment status shows as "complete":
Code:
payment_status: Completed

In the Controller, I still have the same IPN url set:
Code:
$this->paypal_lib->add_field('notify_url', site_url('paypal/ipn')); // <-- IPN url

and then I have not modified the ipn method, other than to put my e-mail address in - and I am not receiving any e-mails stating that a successful payment has gone thru.

At what point in the checkout process does Paypal post the data to my notify_url?

Awesome. 5 seconds after posting that, I realized a pretty important detail. 8-/

I'm on my local environment.

No wonder the post data isn't coming back to me. Confusedhut:
