PayPal IPN problem

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I have PayPal IPN v1.1 installed on osC 2.2MS2.

 

I am able to successfully interact with PayPal and callback to my store.

 

However i have a problem with the tax calculation that PayPal receives from osC.

 

The basket correctly shows:

 

Goods @ ?45.96

Shipping @ ?35.00

VAT (tax) @ ?14.17 (17.5%)

Total @ ?95.13

 

However PayPal displays:

 

Amount @ ?45.96

Shipping @ ?41.13

Total @ ?87.09

 

i.e. it has not applied the VAT/tax to the goods value of ?45.96 but only to the shipping.

 

I know this is a PayPal (module) issue since when I use WorldPay the correct value is charged.

 

Any help appreciated

:(

I found that allowing PayPal to apply the tax was extremely annoying. Especially since my osCommerce already does it.

 

I turned off the tax option in PayPal (from their Merchant Tools section, I believe), then set up the IPN module to use an Aggregate total and Move Tax To Total. PayPal can at least add the cart total and shipping correctly.
