Hopfully you will go post those type of comments someplace where people like that gather in a clump.

If you have nothing relavent to provide then stay out of the thread next time and quit acting like we should run our business based on your criteria and with your lack of focus.]]> E-junkie Discussions; lemonbar Post #25 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Mon, 19 May 2008 09:44:55 GMT E-junkie Discussions; Normski99 Post #24 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Mon, 19 May 2008 09:42:14 GMT
I stick to my thoughts without the need to waiver.

And telling us to weigh concerns less up against tragedies you cite are simply... well, i think you know.

Also, this problem has nothing to do with e-junkie so trying to confuse the issue as you do will get everyone nowhere.]]> E-junkie Discussions; lemonbar Post #23 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Mon, 19 May 2008 09:03:40 GMT I think you miss the point somewhat.. My point is.. By all means exchange information on this very helpful forum about things which may go wrong.. But don't get over fretful about it. Put things into perspective. We have an excellent service from those lovely people at E-Junkie, but things do go wrong occasionally, and then things get righted again.
Unlike the tragedy of half a million people in the US dying horrible deaths from cancer, the necessity to manually process a bit of information is as nothing. Be cool.. Relax.. Take it in your stride.. Maybe the cancer toll would go down a tad if there were less stress in people's lives.

Be sure to tell those 'irate customers' that they should pipe down since China had an earthquake and Burma have a cyclone.

Think careully about what was just said. It is true and sound perspective.

Or would you rather us think "I should not consider this bad, look at all 500,000 people that died of cancer last year".

Some types of relativism just does not work no matter how hard a some try.]]> E-junkie Discussions; lemonbar Post #21 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sun, 18 May 2008 22:23:49 GMT
Glad that the paypal issue's been resolved. Now we can get back to whatever we were doing before we had to play php-robot :) That and deal with potentially many irate customers -- good luck to everyone! Let's hope the rest of the year is less 'interesting' than these past few days (or longer for some people) have been.]]> E-junkie Discussions; js Post #20 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sun, 18 May 2008 21:57:23 GMT
Let us know when we can start posting about problems again.

I am not clear as to how long after those events we should wait to use the e-junkie site to comment on e-junkie related issues.

Also, can someone delete all our posts for the entire previous year. There has been over 500,000 cancer related deaths in the USA during 2007 and that certainly trumps a little group of only 150,000.]]> E-junkie Discussions; lemonbar Post #19 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sun, 18 May 2008 07:38:14 GMT E-junkie Discussions; Normski99 Post #18 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sun, 18 May 2008 01:35:55 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieChef Post #17 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sat, 17 May 2008 17:46:37 GMT
Paypal is not even comparable. They've known about this problem, they know they can roll back the changes, they have the power to do so BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING IT! I say 'class action suit'.]]> E-junkie Discussions; js Post #16 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sat, 17 May 2008 16:59:07 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieChef Post #15 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sat, 17 May 2008 16:57:29 GMT lemonbar
E-junkieIt is not acceptable to take 2 days to fix an issue that affectes thousands of merchants.


I want to capture that quote for next time with e-junkie goes down...

hehe

Our service has never stopped processing sales for 48 hours! Also, any outages in past 1.5 years has been related to server being down due to power issues and due to wrongdoing of our dns provider.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieChef Post #14 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2589/pg/1#post6573 Sat, 17 May 2008 01:33:20 GMT E-junkieIt is not acceptable to take 2 days to fix an issue that affectes thousands of merchants.

However, if you download transaction log from E-junkie as a CSV and download logs from PayPal as CSV, you can use PHP or any other language to compare them and find missing transactions.

PayPal says that they will fix the issue before end of the day. I am surprised that not a whole log of people are complaining about this. I will suggest everybody that is affected to pick up the phone and call PayPal about this or better yet, post at http://www.pdncommunity.com/

Anyhow, I have a potentially helpful suggestion. If e-junkie has logs of the invalid requests sent over from Paypal, could you email me my transactions so I have a list in one place? Otherwise I'd have to write a script that compares what's in paypal and what's not in ejunkie and I've had my hands full doing mysql database inserts manually since yesterday!

As a software engineer I hold myself to a higher standard.

Updates are for various reasons, not just errors. And all the while my computer keeps running.

Something so critical as IPN's is a show stopper no matter how you define it and could have been easily avoided. They simply did not test well enough to find the problem and I know why that is:
