 * Hi, I tested the premium featured ad plugin to buy a featured ad. After I paid
   thru Paypal, the status that came out was this:
 *  “You can’t post an Ad at this time because the payment associated with this 
   transaction failed (see reasons below). PayPal returned the following status 
   from your payment: INVALID. 37 payment variables were posted. If this status 
   is not COMPLETED or VERIFIED, then you may need to wait a bit before your payment
   is approved, or contact PayPal directly as to the reason the payment is having
   a problem.”
 * I have received the confirmation email from Paypal that I had actually paid. 
   I cannot post a featured ad even after I paid for it. Please advise thank you.
