In my site settings the POST URL (https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-
bin/webscr) and RETURN URL (satchmo_checkout-success) in the paypal
payment module are default.

Did you mean the right URL as in "http://www.robertmillerassoc.com/
checkout/paypal/ipn/"?

I put that in the IPN handler URL for the IPN Simulator in Paypal
Sandbox and picked "Cart Checkout"

Left everything as it was and clicked "Send IPN"

I still get the "IPN delivery failed. HTTP error code 403: Forbidden"
error.
When I set DEBUG = True in my settings.py, I get an "IPN delivery
failed. HTTP error code 500: Internal Server Error"
I wonder if this is relevant?

I checked my Access Log and it is getting hit by Paypal
216.113.191.33 - - [12/Aug/2010:14:38:44 -0700] "POST /checkout/
paypal/
ipn/ HTTP/1.0" 403 1373 "-" "-"

Upon visiting the URL, http://www.robertmillerassoc.com/checkout/paypal/ipn
I found that it is completely blank. I'm hoping that's normal.
Do you or anyone else have any suggestions? I'm using Satchmo 0.9.2-
pre hg-unknown and Django 1.2.1

I was wondering if IPN is really necessary. I could just manually
switch Order Status from None-->New-->Shipping-->Complete. Is the
purpose of IPN with Satchmo mainly for changing the Order Status after
payment? Is payment sent regardless?

I checked my Paypal Test Accounts and it had a receipt for the Buyer,
and a payment notification E-Mail for the Merchant. Thus, if IPN is
not set up, the store should still function (payments are still sent),
correct?

Thanks for your time
