IPN's are currently failing with Fatal Failure. Started around 6pm Pacific Time. Tried to go check the IPN history and get the same error when going to Account Settings > Notifications > Update (next to Instant Payment Notifications). Checked PayPal Status and it shows Production Systems Operational. Also tried logging into PayPal-support.com to create a ticket but can't seem to get logged in. Hopefully someone can pass this on to the technicians at PayPal? Thank you.

IPN notifications seem to be working now, last Fatal Failure was around 7am Pacific Time. Also the IPN history page is working as well.

For the record:

Fatal Failure
This is up to:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/
Yet everything is "Operational" according to the status page:

I'm experiencing the same issue and the PayPal IPNs has stopped 5-6 hours ago.
Is there any solution?

IPNs are still being sent, but currently it isn't possible to verify them.
You could decide to skip the verification process, but that's not a good idea IMHO.
I guess we need to wait until PayPal fixes this.

Was finally able to create a ticket over at www.paypal-support.com so see what they come back with. Concerning though that problem persists 6 hours later and still "All Production Systems Operational" They definitely are not. And it is not possible to get a hold of anyone.

It appears to be intermittent. On the 10th retry, one call was successful. This is certainly making things less reliable.

Yeah, my IPN callback isn't working for some transactions. Definitely intermittent. Plus, logging in with Edge to check IPN status worked, yet with Chrome, "Fatal Error". Odd.

Same experience as everyone else. Issue started happening 6+ hours ago or so. Can't access the IPN history page, says "Fatal Failure".
At this point, every transaction has failed to verify for the last 4 hours or so.
