I was trying to get the details of my sandbox test accounts in paypal unfortunately, it came up empty and just says this
We’re sorry, something went wrong while fetching test accounts. Please try again.
I also can't see my app in "My apps and credentials" and just says the same thing.
I tried to make a transaction to one of my sandbox test accounts and process the payment flawlessly.
I was wondering how long do I have to wait? or Does paypal have their server overload?
This seems to be an issue with PayPal itself, since there are other people with same issue today. We need to wait for PayPal to solve this.
EDIT: Weekend is over, PayPal Sandbox is working! :)
As of February 27, 2017 10:01 PM GMT 8+.
It seems the site is back to normal again. I could view my apps and the sandbox test accounts I created.

Yes, I have the test accounts in developer tool
And it was working fine today (2016, November 11) early, the last test was like at 3:30pm.
I was buying things (sandbox) and worked fine, but after 4 pm, when i try to buy something, the POST sends me to the sandbox main page, not the one with the item description, amount, etc...
Also, I try to login into the test facilitator or buyer account on sandbox, and I get this query string:
sandbox.paypal.com/signin?resType=code&failedBecause=securityTokenError
I don't know what happened, it was working fine today in the morning, before some final test I was coding something not related to the payments so I can't edit something about the buying code.
I even created a new paypal account, created the test users in developers tool, still the same
I can't seem to log into my PayPal sandbox accounts. When I try to log in I just keep getting the login screen without any error message. If I click on the "trouble logging in" link I get a message that "Sorry — your last action could not be completed" and "Dispatch Error, please check logfile for more information". Here's how I reproduce the problem:
Log into my PayPal developer account at developer.paypal.com
Go to sandbox.paypal.com and attempt to log in using any of the sandbox accounts set up under my developer account.
Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem:
1. Created a new, test business account under my PayPal developer account and tried to log in using that account.
2. Reset the password for my test accounts.
3. Cleared my browser's cache and cleared any cookies tied to PayPal.
4. Tried other browsers. The browsers I've tried are Firefox, IE and Chrome. All are relatively current versions.
5. Called PayPal tech support. They suggested creating a new account (#1 above).
In all cases I get the same result: I just get the login screen again when I try to log in. It seems like either I've forgotten something about how this system should work (it's been a couple months since I used the sandbox) or there's something wrong with the sandbox.
I originally ran into this problem because I was trying to send a test transaction to the sandbox and instead of the usual shopping cart screen I got the basic PayPal (sandbox) login screen.
maybe is some problem with sandbox, because i have the same issue, actualy today early (before 3pm) it was working fine, i noticed this problem at 4:30 pm (Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) -0600 UTC )
I'm brand new to setting up IPN's. I've built websites, but never a subscription site like the one I'm building now. I'd like to set up a recurring monthly subscription option and a recurring yearly subscription option.
My website is built on Joomla 3 and I'm using a plugin for the subscription module. I set up the PayPal subscription buttons just as explained in the directions, which I followed to the letter. Nevertheless, when I go to test it in the PayPal sandbox, I keep getting the same error, which says that it wasn't sent and the handshake wasn't made, and to check my settings. That's all it says. I don't know if the issue is with my site, my server or the settings I'm entering into the actual sandbox. I checked with my server and they said there's nothing wrong on their end. Do I need an SSL for the integration to work?
Please keep in mind that, while I can follow explicit directions, I'm so new at this that I don't even know how to access my 'listener,' so if you respond, please let me know where to find things, if necessary.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated - I've been at this for 12 hours now and I'm at a complete loss.
This issue has two sides
1. Is Paypal IPN enabled on the sandbox account where you are trying to receive the payments
2. You would need a IPN listener script to get the IPN notifications
This process is the same for Sandbox or live mode

Everything was working fine last Friday, but today I have been getting the following message:
.
The message I get when trying to make a payment using paypal sandbox is this:
We can't process your payment right now, so please try again later.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.
It's been like this all day, not sure if something has happened to my system or if something has happened to paypal's sandbox?
NOTIFICATION FROM PAYPAL:
Notification: Issues with Sandbox with preconfigured accounts - Jan 24
Source: https://www.x.com/content/notification-issues-sandbox-preconfigured-accounts-jan-24
WORKAROUND:
Create a non UK preconfigured account or create a manual account.
If everything worked fine then maybe time messed it up so wait for time or check it out again later :). If too long then contact paypal support.
I was testing a facebook application / paypal payments processing about a month ago. I got everything working and purchased some facebook credits via a normal facebook account (not a payment tester). Everything looked good. The credit card provided was charged. That was almost a month ago. I have yet to see those funds or a portion thereof show up in the paypal account I created for this purpose.
I can't find any useful documention or blog posts of others who have encountered this. I am wondering if there is a known reason. My facebook app is still in sandbox mode, and my paypal account is unverified. However the money is really charged on my credit card. I can see a report for this transaction in the facebook admin page which I will paste here. It is missing payment_detail which is probably a symptom of my problem.
Is this due to being in sandbox mode, an unverified paypal account, or some step I am missing?

I went back and forth with a guy at facebook who was helpful. I moved off Paypal and needed help because their portal was throwing exceptions when I tried to make the change myself. He explained that you need $100 in credits before facebook issues payment. So that's definitely good to know for testing.
