Has anyone had any luck with the paypal gem from leetsoft (Tobias  
Luetke)?  
I’m successfully sending off and making payments, but the ipn doesn’t  
send back to my site. I have the notify\_url set in the form, have a  
action set for the ipn postbacks, but all I get from my sandbox after  
payment is a “view shops” page from paypal after payment is made.

I just checked the development logs and nothing is getting posted back  
through the ipn.

Could you tell us how, in case others have similar problems and your  
message comes up in a search?

Sure, it was an oversight on my part, partly…

On line 181 of the notification.rb file, there’s an example of how to  
capture the notification from paypal. It reads:  
notify = PaypalNotification.new(request.raw\_post)

When actually it should be:  
notify = Paypal::Notification.new(request.raw\_post)

I didn’t catch his typo until I traced the problem back and saw it was  
incorrect.

I looked further and the Readme file is actually correct.
