Disable PayPal Digital Goods on Sandbox Account - paypal

PayPal is no longer offering new Digital Goods integrations. I'd like to test a new Express Checkout integration I'm working on against a PayPal Sandbox account which does NOT have Digital Goods enabled. Yet, every new Sandbox account I create has Digital Goods enabled by default.
How can I disable Digital Goods on a Sandbox account?

Actually there is no impact on your testing for Express Checkout.
As long as you didn't pass the parameters to determine the transaction type as Digital goods, PayPal will regard it as Physical goods transactions by default.

Is PayPal's adaptive payments not working in India and Georgia?

At my company, an internet platform, we have a set up with Paypal adaptive payments allowing merchant across the world selling digital goods to local and international buyers, with a fee sent to us via adaptive payments.
According to PayPal's documentation at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/adaptive-payments/
"You can use Adaptive Payments in any country where PayPal is accepted."
We have now had reports from potential merchants from both India and Georgia stating that they cannot make the connection to our service work with the PayPal accounts.
Am I missing something? Shouldn't it work with a simple PayPal account in these countries or do the potential merchants needs any special approval from Paypal or are there other prerequisites?

PayPal Sandbox Recurring Payments

I am trying to setup recurring payments in our SandBox.
I have followed the instructions here:
How to enable recurring payments for sandbox account?
I have a working Python Django code, have setup billing plans and foward the user to a billing agreement with an Activated plan but it errors on the PayPal page, that this is currently not possible.
So I checked the above link and understand I need to enable recurring payments in my facilitator sandbox account.
Once I go to the Recurring payments dashboard-> Sign up for Enhanced Recurring Payments
I only end up with a message saying: Sorry, this feature is not available at this time.
How am I supposed to test this now ? This Sandbox account is an Account type: Business and verified.

First of all, not all countries support PayPal Digital Goods. If it is available in your country, you can find it in "My business setup" in "Selling Tools" page. Here are the steps. For more information, you can check here:

Which API I should use for Paypal when I have many receivers and payers

I am building a project that might be a bit complicated and I have to use paypal for this.
There are many users in the app and they can be receivers, payers or both. The receivers/sellers provide certain services and the payers have to pay their sellers monthly. So if the user agrees to pay, the paypal will charge him monthly and automatically. The users need to register as paypal member and get authorized from paypal beforehand so I can use their emails for the transactions in the app.
I am thinking of using paypal express checkout with recurring apis, but I am not sure if it is the right decision and no clue if it is working. Any suggestions? thanks.
You could use either Express Checkout, Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard, or Enhanced Recurring Payments w/ Website Payments Standard. Either one of these would allow you to set up recurring payments. Enhanced Recurring Payments is the only one that would have a monthly charge associated with it. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard would not have a monthly charge. However, Enhanced Recurring Payments allows the buyer to sign up for a subscription without having to have a PayPal account, and they can just use their credit card. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard require the buyer to have a PayPal account. They can still be billed via credit card, but they have to have the credit card attached to their PayPal account. The subscription would bill the PayPal account, and the PayPal account would pull the funds from the credit card on the account.
With a PayPal account, your users can receive or send funds based on the country these accounts are located in.
