I keep receiving this message from service paypal and don't understand, because the URL address listed is correct. "Hello , Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing: ..........If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. Thanks, PayPal

If not, then it must be built into a tool you're using. For example, are you using WooCommerce? This is a common problem with WooCommerce when using PayPal Standard.
Let me know if that's the case or if you're using some other tool and then I can help you more with resolving the issue.

You must have an IPN solution setup somewhere that isn't working properly. Do you know specifically if you've ever set something like that up?

I haven't set up anything and have never heard of WooCommerce, so could it be a built in tool that I'm not aware of? Shall I just Disable the PayPal instant payment notifications?
