This isn't important but if your curious of the details, read on.

A user noticed the payment system failed earlier today and notified me. Basically paypal changed a string delivered here to the site from "VERIFIED" to "VERIFIED\r\n0" which caused the system here to not see it as a match anymore. I fixed the problem and added some logic to the processing to make it more resistant to any future nonsense paypal pulls. I also beefed up the error detection to notify me via a log when the processing fails.

As a safeguard I reprocessed everything over the last couple months. However if you notice a problem please let me know.
