I was cheking the logs and realize that paypal sandbox does,t give the answer that Exponential is expecting. The value paypal send is VERIFIED and Exponential expects Completed...

where do I change this ?

Here is a copy of the final statement in the eZPaypalChecker.log

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20-11-2006 09-13 requestValidation. response from server is: VERIFIED
20-11-2006 09-13 check Field ----
20-11-2006 09-13 ERROR - receiving value doesn't match!!!
20-11-2006 09-13 Field :payment_status

Hi Nuno

I have just started working with the paypal extension, so take the following with a grain of salt:
As you can see in eZPaypalChecker::requestValidation(), Exponential expects VERIFIED at the first stage, so this part is not the source of your problems.

But after that the payment status is checked and there you have a problem. Paypal posts some variables back to EZ, among them the payment_status. If everything went alright, this status is set to 'completed'. The reason why your status is set to pending should be in the post variable 'pending_reason', so have a look at that to solve your problem.

If you use a test account, make sure that this account is verified as this is one of the most likely reasons the payment is still pending.

The post data is fetched in \kernel\shop\classes\ezpaymentcallbackchecker.php::createDataFromPOST()

The meaning of the posted variables can be seen here (page 59 and 60):

Good luck

I got some great feedback to from someone in irc who had solved this problem (i think) using the eZ paypal extension.

It was based on their experiences but the content is still subpar.
