sorry - just looked at plugin settings & saw the 'use new paypal ipn check'
Have now said 'yes' so I guess we're ok now.
Could this setting effect the site's performance ?

No, it won't affect performance at all. It is now uses library provided by PayPal for IPN notification and it should be fine

By setting [ Use new paypal ipn check ] --> [ YES ], you've taken the action that you need to.

@Tuan -- does updating EB to a current version force this to YES, or are the users required to make this change themselves?

@James: Users will still require to make this change themself. However, I will make it Yes by default in the next release of the extension
