IPN not receiving from paypal sandbox

I had developed a website with online transaction using paypal as payment option. Checkout and the shopping cart calculations on paypal side are working, but i'm not receiving any IPN messages from paypal sandbox.

<form name="paypal_form" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" />
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="invoice" value="1234" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://domain.com/success" />
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://domain.com/cancel" />
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://domain.com/notify">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="First item"/>
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="6.00"/>
<input type="hidden" name="quantity_1" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="shipping_1" value="5.00"/>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR"/>
</form>

The overview page in merchant paypal account shows the transactions are completed. When i click on transaction details it shows error 3004 .

Also the IPN history page does not displaying any IPN records. It says "no records found in last 24 hours" .

How can i solve this?

Thanks & Regards.

If you are trying this on localhost, it wont work. IPN just works on live. And you are saying you are not getting message from paypal sandbox ? If you are working on sandbox, why are you keeping the action url for actual paypal form ?

It can be PayPal error - see: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/instant-payment-notifications-ipn-payment-data-transfer-pdt/ipn-failing-hasn-t-been-changed?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1

The most iportant messages from the link above are PayPal responses: July 18: "I have found that the problem you are experiencing with IPN in the Sandbox is being caused by some technical issues with the PayPal system. Our engineers are currently working diligently on a solution to this problem." and July 19: "We are aware of this issue and our engineers are currently working on a solution. Unfortunately, i can't give you an exact timeframe when this will be done, however this should be resolved within the next days."

Make sure that your ipn is actually world-accessible (and not under localhost or a private network)
