Cheddar is now successfully receiving IPNs from PayPal. Customers of Cheddar merchants using PayPal Adaptive Payments Preapprovals should now be able to create new preapprovals.

We recommend that Cheddar merchants using preapprovals check their IPN history in their PayPal account. If there are any IPNs from the past 48 hours with a status other than "sent," please retry the IPN. If the retry is successful, Cheddar will update any customer records in a PayPal Pending status with the accepted preapproval.

We are continuing to monitor the situation.
