Multiple Messages when someone pays for an ad

[ktmtalk]

This is really not that bad of a bug... just an annoyance.

Whenever someone pays to list an ad, I am getting two notices for each one.

Here is a log of one.... notice how payment_verification gets called twice.

Notice they are 5 minutes apart... maybe one was supposed to be a notice that they initiated, and the 2nd was the notice that it was processed???

Have you tested this as a user or admin? Admin may get more than one notice if your the actual user.

not testing... it's live data... that was a payment from one of my members and those were the messages that I received... notice the ad # is the same in both messages.... meaning, it was duplicated.

Only way that could happen is maybe paypal bounces back the confirmation twice?

There is only one email string there.

[ktmtalk]

well, I guess paypal is bouncing all of them because it's happening to everyone that gets a payment

[Chuck S]

yes has to be because we definately are not issue two emails at one time.'

well its good I guess paypal is diligent in getting out payment confirmations.

[ktmtalk]

its not emails, it's messages, and it's not at one time... they are 5 minutes apart

heres the EMAIL from paypal on one that just happened:

real names and emails boinked out on purpose

Hello zzzzzzz,

You received a payment of $32.49 USD from xxxxxxxxxx (yyyyy@verizon.net)
Thanks for using PayPal. You can now ship any items. To see all the transaction details, log in to your PayPal account

Only one EMAIL from PayPal, and totally different than the two MESSAGES that he got in addition to the email from Paypal.

On the bright side, at least the MESSAGES have a product instead of some cryptic code like: "Item #cde16c5d1a2fc21e7faf0b9da96c227d"

You misunderstand I am not referring to paypals message from paypal

The payment verificaition script sends an email when paypal posts back the payment verification to us.

Then it must be posting back twice...

same messages, this time 22 seconds apart, resulting in both the buyer and seller getting two MESSAGES each for the same transaction.

I think I found it... won't know for sure until another paypal comes thru.

[Chuck S]

Like I said if paypal sends it twice ok. There is nothing I can change there. The only way for two emails to be sent is if paypal posts back to the site twice and they very well could.

There is nothing I can do to prevent paypal from posting twice. There is nothing I can do about it sending a second email without altering the program in a manner to say add a paid column to the payments table etc and see if its paid or not.
