	Sorry; I meant business (there isn't a "merchant account"
designation w/Paypal; that was my mistake).

	So you're saying that *none* of the fields are being returned,
or just that the fields mentioned below are not (not blank, but
completely missing)?

Right now, I am just looking at the results that the IPN is sending
back.  All the address fields and customer company information is
missing.  Even when it is filled in on my side.

I don't have a merchant account.  I only have a premier business.
