I am having a really hard time figuring out how to simulate receiving an echeck from a customer through my company's sandbox store. I set up a user with only as bank account (no credit card) from the paypal developer site, and am able to place an order from the test store. But, after I complete the order, the status is Completed in PayPal. I want it to be pending so I can use the IPN simulator to simulate receiving the payment. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
The simulator has echeck-pending, echeck-declined, and echeck-completed built in already. You could just use those.

When I using Sandbox mode it's work fine.
But when I switch to Live Mode error was happens.
{"response":{"name":"INSTRUMENT_DECLINED","details":[],"message":"The instrument presented was either declined by the processor or bank, or it can't be used for this payment.","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors","debug_id":"51d8a0cb6f968","httpStatusCode":400},"httpStatusCode":400}
How can I solve this problem.
I use a Thailand Debit card to pay and have an enough money to pay.
Basically this means your credit card was declined. See here for more info.
I had the same problem, but in my case it was because I did a lot of tests of payments and reversals in the same paypal`s account, with the same product. I think Paypal "blocked" my account and it starts to deny all of my payments.
Try other account or card.
I'm currently trying my app to notify the buyer if he/she has no funds. But every time I use a paypal test account without funds, the payment still proceeds. What could be the cause of this error? I have negative testing on for my facilitator account.
If you have a credit card attached to the sandbox account it will use that as the funding source.
With negative testing, though, what you do is send a specific amount in the transaction request in order to get a specific error code back for testing.
See this documentation for more details.
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/

I'm trying to use paypal ipn on my website. I am using sandbox to debug it...
I noticed sometimes I get values on payment_status like pending ...
My question is, do I get a response again from paypal ipn when this payment becomes complete?
Yes you do. That is the reason why you should implement logic in your code to cope for multiple messages relating to the same transaction.
From paypal site: https://cms.paypal.com/es/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_testing_SBOverview
"The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained environment within which you can prototype and test PayPal features and APIs. The PayPal Sandbox is an almost identical copy of the live PayPal website"
Comparison table in the link above does mention some scenarios like Fraud detection are not enabled in sandbox.
Other than these, it should be safer to assume that features of live are same in sandbox ( like receiving IPN after status change from pending to complete etc).
I need to simulate a PENDING response to my IPN script (php).
Any help on how to configure the sandbox seller account in order to do this would be great!
Note that the IPN testing tool is not sufficient, I actually just need to it to send back a 'pending' notification.
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
Turn on 'Payment review' on your Sandbox seller account via https://developer.paypal.com/
This will put any new transactions going through this test account in a 'Pending' state.

Don't know if PayPal had this back when the question was asked but their IPN simulator is very convenient for testing pending responses and other responses.
