Cannot find Instant Payment Notification (IPN) simulator - paypal

I am following tutorial in:
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-recurring-payments--net-30168
which is nice so far as I needed to get into sandbox.
Just can't find where it is.

You can't find sandbox inside PayPal. SandBox is a test platform for developers where you can simulate payments. If your code works in SandBox then it will work in production enviroment with PayPal.
You should register your developer account and begin to test.
here you can simulate IPN

Paypal sandbox for manager account

I have a paypal manager account for https://manager.paypal.com/.
I want to test some api calls for recurring payment profiles. But I don't have sandbox for the same.
Can anyone know how to create a sandbox for this account?
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for. From what I can see here.
Paypal Live or Test Transactions
Paypal manager has a test mode

Can I test PayPal IPN without actually making a purchase?

Can I test the PayPal IPN without actually making a purchase?
Is there a developer sandbox for testing the Request/Response functionality prior to actual implementation?
Basically, I have my server and would like to use the IPN feature to track my customer purchases and respond to a customer's purchase immediately. I would first like to test this out with dummy payments to ensure that the PayPal IPN and my server are communicating correctly.
Check paypal's site... the link is: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/ipn-test-outside.
Sign up for a dev account, and inside there you can create test users and specify their paypal balances, etc.
Paypal has a developer sandbox here https://developer.paypal.com/

How to test Enhanced Recurring Payments Standard on the new Paypal Sandbox?

I have a test environment for my website that I normally use the Paypal Sandbox on to test transactions before going live. I would like to test the Enhanced Recurring Payments feature, but I can't find the option to do so (the links to add more features direct me to the live site), and nothing I've found on Google has given an answer on how to test Enhanced Recurring Payments on Paypal Sandbox since it's been changed.
Is ERP supported on Paypal Sandbox, or do I just not know how to access this option? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sign up in the sandbox here: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_product-go&product=premium_services
(for the curious, I got this URL by going to paypal.com/erp and then adding "sandbox." in front of the resulting URL's paypal.com)
Log in with your test account email/password (something like aaaaaa_############_biz#emaildomain.com )
If it says "Please login to use the PayPal Sandbox features.", that's an issue with the new sandbox that's being worked on--for now, clear all your paypal.com cookies , log in to developer.paypal.com again, and then visit the above URL again

Using the Paypal sandbox to test an application

I recently set up Paypal payments standard on my web app and things are working fine. I am able to use Paypal sandbox to test and things work the way I expect.
However, I would like to send out the app to my beta testers and allow them to test making payments without actually using their Paypal accounts or credit cards. I can create sandbox merchants and sandbox payees, but that doesn't quite do it. My button send them to sandbox.paypal.com... but when they get there they are asked to log in with a developer/sandbox password. It doesn't just let them login with the test payee account.
I can work around this, but I wanted to see if I was missing something.
Ya this type of situation was not what we intended the sandbox to be used for. Every sandbox account is tied to a developer account so there is no way around this.
You can do your unit testing or test your application in sandbox, and go live to actually have your clients start using it. There was no plan to have your clients test making payments in sandbox.
