 * I’ve invested over 30 hours of research and testing and cannot get IPN to complete
   a transaction in PayPal sandbox. There are inadequate resources for a reasonably
   tech-savvy person to pound this plugin into place. It simply should not be this
   hard.

 * This may be simplifying your issue, but did you set up the Paypal IPN address
   in your sandbox? Once you create your test account in the sandbox, you have to
   set up the IPN handler just as you do on your live paypal account. I was getting
   timeout errors until I set this value. Hope this helps.

 * Bob,
 * Thanks for your reply. All of my trials were done in the sandbox. I’m curious
   about your configuration. Can you provide some details? I suspect there’s some
   crucial difference that I’m missing.
 * My setup: Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit, MySQL 5.5 server, PHP 5.3.10, Apache 2.2. For
   IPN tests I added dynamic dns so PayPal could find my web server. Opening port
   443 in my firewall made no difference, nor did any SSL configuration of Apache(
   altho’ I may have missed something with this). WordPress 3.3.1.
 * I was able to get the IPN listener from [here](http://www.micahcarrick.com/paypal-ipn-with-php.html)
   working independently of WP.
