I am Wassouf the Owner of XenonDesigns and I would like Everyone that sells themes, products or any digital goods online using paypal PLEASE be aware as this what happened to me:

Me and my friend were testing something on paypal and he bought from me a commercial theme, we found that he was capable of buying the theme for any price he wanted, so he purchased the theme for $1 which real price is $50 and then he was able to download the theme straight after payment.

Solution: When you put the Buy Now buttons on your website make sure that you choose the encrypted Buy Now button as this will prevent this.

The hackers use a code that they enter in the address bar and which allow them to get any products for whatever price they want.

Be aware, at the moment I just send all my customers their products manually after 1-12 of their purchase, I dont give download link after purchase cuz this is gettign insecure.


Best of Luck,


Wassouf

Admin Note: If your using IPN then check the amount he spent against the amount of the item. :)
