title: paypal ipn payment_status processed vs completed
body: <p>I am new to paypal integration and doing ipn integration right now.</p>
  
  <p>I am a little confused regarding payment_status processed and completed values according to their site.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Completed: The payment has been completed, and the funds have been
    added successfully to your account balance.</p>
    
    <p>Processed: A payment has been accepted.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Dont really get this? </p>
  
  <p>here are my questions</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>if it sends an ipn with payment status processed, will it send
  another ipn with payment status completed?</li>
  <li>when does it send a processed ipn and when does it send a completed
  ipn?  </li>
  <li>for which status should you consider a item(s) paid for? completed or processed?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
