admin always button buyer cart code download ipn issuing link links order party paypal price prices processing product products sell selling shopping-cart support system unique url

if we want to change the php on our site to load a different product then all we need to do is change the xxx in the add to cart code snippet as shown below?

i=xxx

curious, what items exactly do get checked for a purchase on ebay? item name and price?

if a use my own buy now code on my site, instead of e-junkie to speed things up as mentioned before, then:

is the item name checked as well?

must there always be a item number coming from paypal and if not then what happens?

is the price checked too? if so then when is that done because there are coupon codes and such that alter the price.

thanks

Yes, if you just change the i= value, that will change which product that button adds to the cart, though of course the new value must match the Item Number of an existing product configured in your Seller Admin (i.e., you can't just make up a number and have it "just work"). Of course if you are using Variants, those values appended to the button URL must match what values you have configured here as well, but I don't think that's relevant in your particular case.

I believe we only match IPNs to the Product Name in the case of eBay auction titles; this is so you can keep relisting the same product with the same title, rather than having to constantly update eBay Item #s. If you are "faking" an eBay auction payment of sorts, to trigger PayPal IPNs to our system and thus trigger issuing of codes/download links from our system, then you would need to pass an auction title string that matches a product name you've configured here.

We do not check the price only for actual eBay auctions, as auction closing prices can vary but genuine eBay IPNs cannot be spoofed, so we just accept whatever total those IPNs give us (by that time, the buyer has already paid, so the amount is only relevant in terms of what figure we store in the log and display in thank-you emails/pages). However, for any non-eBay sales, we do verify a price match with your product configs here in order to prevent spoofing of payment amounts.

1) If you are selling with our buttons
=======================
We do price verification and of course if the amount we get is less than what you have configured, we don't process the sale .. unless the price is less due to a discount code you have configured.

a. If you are mixing our PayPal cart buttons and your PayPal cart buttons - Make sure ALL your own buttons have a UNIQUE item number and that they don't conflict with the items numbers you have set for the products you have in E-junkie admin.

2) If you are not selling using our buttons
===========================
Make sure you have our IPN URL (https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/ipn_ext.php) in your PayPal account's IPN settings.

a. Your are selling on eBay - Make sure AUCTION TITLE is EXACTLY the same as PRODUCT NAME you have entered in E-junkie and the CURRENCY is same as well. We will NOT do a price verification in this case as buyer can't fiddle with the price in case of eBay (unlike a regular PayPal checkout).

b. If you are NOT selling on eBay -

i) If you are using PayPal cart - Make sure ALL your products (whether you want them to be handled by E-junkie or not) have a UNIQUE item number.
Ones you want E-junkie to process, MUST have the same ITEM NAME and CURRENCY you have for them in E-junkie seller admin and the PRICE should AT LEAST be equal to what you have in E-junkie admin.

ii) If you are using PayPal Buy now button or a third party cart which passes the item details to PayPal - Item MUST have the same ITEM NAME and CURRENCY you have for it in E-junkie seller admin and the PRICE should AT LEAST be equal to what you have in E-junkie admin.

ok what changed for ebid?

2.a.ii

You have to match the item name, currency and then make sure the price is at least what you have set in E-junkie admin.

Also, talk to them to make sure that they are not overiding your IPN ..

How do you know if you are using paypal cart? I get paid thru paypal. I sell on iOffer and I have the same everything and it doesn't work. Also e-junkie's IPN link is down.

Also will automated delivery work with google checkout?

Thanks alot.

The URL we provide for IPN is not a "link" that you can browse to and see anything human-readable; it's just a sort of bucket where PayPal can drop their IPNs into. :^)

If you are not using the shopping-cart button codes that PayPal provides on their own site, you are not using PayPal Cart, even if you are using PayPal to accept payments generally.

We do support Google Checkout as a payment processing option:
