Beyond Response - Responding to a PayPal Instant Payment Notification

 

  1. Create a new filter, and give it a title that somehow reflects what you are doing. EG: PayPal-1

  2. For your opt-in rules, you can put things like:
    "Body has PRODUCT DESCRIPTION" AND
    "Body has Instant Payment of 0.00"
    * Replace PRODUCT DESCRIPTION and 0.00 with correct info

  3. You can ignore the opt-in redirect. That only pertains to actual Opt-In forms.

  4. Set your Display Name to something that represents the product that you sold, or "eBay Member YOURNAME"

  5. For the To Name, you are going to use an extracted Personalized Message Field, so put ~~~name~~~.
    * ~~~ is what I use for my field delimiter. You can use something else.

  6. Click the Personalized Message Fields tab. In addition to Name and Email, we are going to add the following:

    Field Name Field Caption Active
    itemurl Item URL Yes
    paypalurl Paypal URL Yes
    ebayid eBay ID Yes

    Your Personalized Message Fields tab should look like this:


     

  7. Click the Extract Keywords tab. We are going to add the following to extract the appropriate data from the incoming email:

    Find Extract Until Apply to PMF Active
    Address/n-----------------------------------/n/n /n Name (name) Yes
    Item URL: /n Item URL (itemurl) Yes
    online at:/n/n /n Paypal URL (paypalurl) Yes
    from ( eBay ID (ebayid) Yes

    Your Extract Keywords tab should look like this:    

You may notice that we don't extract the email address from the body of the email.  That is because PayPal sends the that email address as the from address to you. Beyond Response will know this.

There you have it! Now you can create your product delivery email, and include things like the Item URL for a request for feedback.  You can store the PayPal URL in case you need to visit that particular payment at the PayPal website.
