Paypal Developer - Cannot create Sandbox Business Account plus Error Messages - paypal

I am trying to set up a Paypal Dev App by first creating the two (personal and business) Sandbox Accounts. However it only displays the -facilitator.. business account with the following error message when I click on its Profile
We experienced some issues on our end while creating this Sandbox account. Please delete it and try again.
Unfortunately the check-box next to the account is grayed out and I cannot delete it. When I go to create an APP it says:
There are no sandbox business accounts associated, please create one and try again.
So I have also tried creating NEW Sandbox business accounts. When I click save I see that it has updated the Total Records by one, but it still shows the same amount of accounts (the facilitator and any personal accounts I created).
Anyone have any idea on what I can/should do? Can I re-create the whole developer account somehow?

I got this randomly all weekend and never really figured out what caused it... It did work for me though when I went back to it a day or two later.
gave me a really weird feeling about using paypal at all to be honest. good luck.

Exactly the same for me since 3 days. Getting pretty nuts about it. Yesterday the problem was different an error message was displaying on the page as : We’re sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again.
Today when I logged in I found all the test account that I have created yesterday but with no money on the account. So I have deleted them and when I recreate I get the same behavior mentionned above.
This is the notification for the first issue, didnt' find new one but guess they are working on it.

I had this issue as well, and threads all over the internet going back to 2013 which is even more frustrating. Here is what solved it; you need to fill in ALL the fields even the ones that say 'Optional' (First Name, Last Name, Funding, Notes). Then it works fine. Just someone on their end who never did use-case testing I think. In any event I am now making test accounts without issue.

Adsense - "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later. [or-ieh-01]"

My Adsense was working fine since last 7 years. One fine day I tried to change the bank account from Individual to Company bank account. Since then I am getting the error - "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later. [or-ieh-01].
I have tried-
Submitting the valid documents for the new bank account.
Reverting to the old working bank account (with the valid document for that account).
Deleting both the accounts and then try adding any of the bank account.
Neither of the above worked. Now my earned amount is stuck and I cannot use other Ad providers also as they required Google Ad Manager that is linked with a working Adsense account.
Please help me resolve this issue.
You're not the only one. Unluckily this is a known issue since mid-2021 and still unresolved. The cruel truth is, that there seemingly only exists a generic answer to this issue:
Try the path described on the official GooglePay issue fix site. Do exactly as demanded and double-check everything. In most cases that will work.
If that doesn't work contact the GooglePay Support. That's meh but you probably won't have another choice.
Or you might, as written in the official issue post, "try to use another form of payment or bank account for now".
You have my sympathy :-/
Edit: As mentioned in the comments below further ideas would be:
In case you're using it, disable VPN while you're using GooglePay as it seems to lead to conflicts.
Associate a new mail address.
Not sure, how esoteric that is, though. Those ideas came up after talking to friends and some web research.
Have you tried disabling adblocker and trying again?

Facebook Developer Account always disabled after couple of days of using Messenger API

This is not exactly a programming related question but it is closely related to developing so I think it is pertinent.
I´ve been charged in my work with developing an app with access to Facebook Messenger. I needed a Facebook Account and I didn´t want to use a personal one (and I don´t use Facebook anyway) so I created a new gmail account to use it to sign up in Facebook, as user and as a developer.
After a couple of days of work, having created the page, my webhook, done some tests, etc., and investing a good deal of work hours, my account appeared as disabled.
I have to admit a didn´t use much of real info on this account (I´m kind of allergic to disclosing personal information unless mandatory), and the account was new so I thought that maybe that was the reason (they don´t give you any).
So I tried again a second time with an account I had been using for years (just for logging in some sites, not much of real information there neither, as I say I don´t really use Facebook), and after a couple of days, same results, locked account.
I can´t stress enough I don´t use the API extensively, I just send some messages to another user I have added as one of the application developers so I can test (that other account is never blocked, by the way). It´s not like I am sending hundreds of messages or anything like it. And by the way, I have never been blocked while I was doing something (so I could indentify my wrongdoing). It just happened that at some point when I was going back to work (first hour in the morning, or after lunch for example) I tried to log in again and then I got the warning.
So I have tried a third time, this time I have given all my real information, reluctantly uploaded a personal picture, given all my data to Facebook (yikes!).
And after a couple of days: damn, same result. Blocked account. Work lost. They prompt you to upload a picture to check your Id, but to no avail (no answer yet, not even a notice of any kind) and they don´t give you absolutely any reason why the have blocked you.
And if I go to https://facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907 to fill the form where they ask you to upload an ID then it says that the email doesn´t belong to a disabled account!
What is the unusual activity they have detected? What have I done wrong? Has someone experienced the same problem? Has someone got any clue of what it is that I could be doing wrong?
Because I don´t want to go through the whole process once again only to get blocked in a couple of days.
Thanks.
EDIT 1:
Ok, after checking again now it recognizes the account as a disabled one. I have gone to https://facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907 to fill the form and I have uploaded my ID (even though I completely disagree with disclosing that kind of information).
Honestly, I don´t know what it means by "shortly". It´s been two days now and I have not received any kind of notification yet.
By the way, I haven´t received any kind of notification (mail, sms, anything) during any step of the process EVER. No one. Nothing. Not even an automatic email response. Plain absolute silence.
Honestly, if Facebook uses a security system like this, that lets hackers in while blocks legitimate users, creating false positives and making us lose many hours of work, without any reason or notification or explanation, then Facebook security is plain wrecked.
And I cannot do anything less than to strongly discourage any developer to use it if they can avoid it (what unfortunately I can´t).
EDIT 2:
After some days I regained access to my account again. Without any notification, I just tried again and now it worked (really good communication policy, Facebook, congratulations).
My App had disappeared, so I had to go through the whole process again. And after sending ONE message to the API, this again:
And once again the asked me to upload a picture of myself (I think they already have enough pictures of me to make an album).
This is just plain crazy.

Creating Sandbox Accounts Not Working

When creating sandbox accounts through the developer.paypal.com dashboard, either individually or with Bulk Account Upload, the accounts that should only have a bank account are not created correctly. When I look at the account profile there is an error notice: "We experienced some issues on our end while creating this Sandbox account. Please delete it and try again." It was the same one that I was getting on all accounts created without a hard enough password. There is no payment methods in the created accounts. I can log into the accounts and they appear to work fine except trying to add payment methods to the "Wallet" does not work. Is there anyway to find out the actual error or get around this bug?
I believe this is an intermittent issue and clearing cookie and cache on your browser will help.
If the issue still persist, you might need to file a ticket via https://www.paypal-techsupport.com/app/ask and provide all the relevant information (e.g: screenshot of the error message, browser information, etc). Their technical support will check this for you.

Unable to use sandbox accounts

I really need your help guys. Since two hours I'm facing with a very strange problem related to Paypal Sandbox. I read lot of answers here on stack overflow but none of them helps me.
I'll try the explain my problem: when I create a new sandbox account (respecting all rules like password strength, load balance etc.) I receive the "success" message, the account is created and visible in the list, but when I open it using "Profile" button I receive this error message (and is really a problem because I need to get the username, password and signature to work in sandbox mode):
Account Details
Your request is still processing, please wait...
No difference between "Buyer" or "Seller" account, it always fail.
I've tried in many ways (using notes, changing email address, using custom numbers into email) but nothing is work for me.
Someone can suggest me what can I do?
Thank you very much.
I think I've found a temporary solution to works with PayPal sandbox.
Instead of create an account using "Create Account" button you have to register a new account using sandbox website.
In details:
Go To: https://sandbox.paypal.com
Register a Business Account
Go To: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/ and click con "Click Here". This link is placed in the Second paragraph of the page:
Want to link existing Sandbox Account with your developer account? Click Here and provide credentials of your sandbox account
You will be redirect to sandbox paypal web site, if you don't do anything it will recognize your previous register account (anyway, if not, you have to login with the new created account), procede with linking process and after you will have, in the list of accounts, a new one with "Profile" button ready to show you informations necessary to works.
I don't understand way paypal release an important tool like this with a lot of bugs. No response received from no one.
BugPal your are luky because we needs you but please, improve your development process! :#
Looks like a general problem on Paypal side. We see same issues with two of our accounts. It was working last friday.

Open cart, Orders not showing up in dashboard. Using paypal

Hi Im using paypal on open cart.
Followed the installation guide completely. but orders arent showing up on dash board.
I have to go Sale> Orders> Sort by Hidden and they show as cancelled.
I then manually change them to pending/complete and then it will show on dashboard
Ive checked the IPN too
All my sort orders are correctly named.
What else could i be missing?
This generally happens if you're
password protecting your website using a .htaccess/.htpasswd method
testing locally
Basically paypal needs to access your server to send the IPN. If you're doing either of the above, then it can't. If both the above don't apply, then this can sometimes be due to paypal sandbox being slow (if you're using that rather than live PP)
I faced similar problem and it helped me:

I've had the same error for a while now. I re-uploaded the following files and it worked for me.
Sounds like your file needs updating in
CODE: SELECT ALL
catalog/controller/account/login.php
And I would also upload a fresh
CODE: SELECT ALL
catalog/model/account/customer.php
