IPN issues

Hi there

We are using paypal for payments.
In paypal, I have IPN enabled and its using the URL:
https://www.domain.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal (obviously with the correct domain name)

But for some reason – its not working. I have just enabled IPN logging on WP, and will see what it says.

But in the meantime, in the Paypal IPN history page, i can see the attempt being made to send the IPN message. It says the “HTTP response code” = 404

But when i manually try the URL, it works, and i get a message saying “PayPal IPN Request Failure” (which makes sense, seen as i am am just loading the page, not sending all the parameters).

UPDATE, i just saw in the IPN history item, that the URL that is being used is in fact: https://www.domain.com/wc-api/WC_Gateway_Paypal/
i dont know why it would be using this – its not what appears in the URL field, as stated above. This URL -https://www.domain.com/wc-api/WC_Gateway_Paypal/ indfeed does not exist and throws a 404.
So my question is why Paypal would be using this URL. could there be a forwarder or something from my original URL to this one? I dont see that happening when accessing the original URL manually.

PS: as a result of the site not receiving notification about payment, the pending order is then automatically cancelled. which is obviously not what i want, especially seen as the order *was* really paid, just not IPN’d successfully.

Can anyone suggest something?

Thanks
