Is there any way to go to test Chargebacks/Disputes on the PayPal Sandbox test site?
I try to use the resolution center to create new cases both through the normal method of disputing a charge and through the sandbox specific "Create or Resolve Case" section of the Resolution Center.
Either way I do it, I can only ever get the disputes into a status of "Being Reviewed By PayPal". No IPN notifications are sent out.
This support article details the expected steps I'm hoping to emulate in the sandbox environment: https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/622/kw/Dispute
What you'll need to do is create your own IPN simulator to test this. You can make a basic HTML form with the action set to your IPN URL and hidden fields that match the names/values you expect to get from an IPN.
This way you can load your test in a browser and submit it to your IPN listener. You'll be able to see the results on screen which can help with troubleshooting.
Keep in mind that when testing this way the data is not coming from PayPal's server so the IPN will be unverified. You'll need to make sure your code logic handles that.
Here are some samples of IPN's you'd get when a chargeback occurs so you can see what you should expect and setup your simulator accordingly.

I'm trying to send email using Classic ASP from my website at Godaddy. Unfortunately, the cod I have from 10-15 years ago doesn't work (imagine that! lol). Here's the code. Can someone tell me what has changed since then? desperately await your reply. Thank you!
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

.Item(cdoSMTPConnectionTimeout) = 10

.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
.Item(cdoURLGetLatestVersion) = True
.Update
End With
'Create mail object
Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
'Apply the settings to the message object then send the email
With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From = "Support (email#mywebsite)"
.To = "The User (user#email.com)"
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is a test email."
.TextBody = "This is a test email. If it were a real email there would be some blah blah blah here! This concludes the test of the Godaddy email message."
.Send
End With

Ok folks. This is for the people that need a guiding hand from time to time. However, make sure you enter the right username and password. When hosting on Godaddy you could have up to three different usernames and passwords. You have your Godaddy account username and password (that's not it!), you have a username and password for Plesk (that's not it either!). Then you have a username and password for your primary website (that's the one you want!). Even though you might have several different websites under your hosting, only one will be the primary. Mine was for the email and password that are associated with that prime website. Once you get this code posted you should be good to go. However, you might have to wait a while in order for it to start working. For me it took about 8 hours for the DNS to catch hold of what I was doing and start sending my emails through. Once it did though, now it works great! Enjoy!

Im having problems with PayPal and IPN on my website and have tried loads of things with no joy.
What i am attempting to do:
Receive notification of payment from PayPal and then update database with details from variables.
Whats working:
Using the IPN simulator from PayPal sandbox to simulate a transaction and sending the information to my listener WORKS and database gets updated.
purchasing items through the website works on sandbox and with out sandbox.
what does not work:
after purchase on website, listener does not receive information back from PayPal either using sandbox or normal and there for database does not get updated.
What i am using:
I am using simpleCartjs for my cart
Listener file is:
$p = new paypal_class;
if ($p->validate_ipn() && !empty($p->ipn_data['payment_status']) && $p->ipn_data['payment_status'] == 'Completed') {
$mc_gross = $_POST['mc_gross'];
$payer_id = $_POST['payer_id'];
$payment_date = $_POST['payment_date'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payer_status = $_POST['payer_status'];
$address_name = $_POST['address_name'];
$address_country = $_POST['address_country'];
$address_zip = $_POST['address_zip'];
$address_state = $_POST['address_state'];
$address_city = $_POST['address_city'];
$address_street = $_POST['address_street'];
$mc_shipping = $_POST['mc_shipping'];
$mc_currency = $_POST['mc_currency'];
$ipn_track_id = $_POST['ipn_track_id'];
$stmt = $con->prepare("INSERT into orders (mc_gross, payer_id, payment_date, first_name, last_name, payer_email, payment_status, payer_status, address_name, address_country, address_zip, address_state, address_city, address_street, mc_shipping, mc_currency, ipn_track_id) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->bind_param("sssssssssssssssss", $mc_gross, $payer_id, $payment_date, $first_name, $last_name, $payer_email, $payment_status, $payer_status,
$address_name, $address_country, $address_zip, $address_state,
$address_city,
$address_street, $mc_shipping, $mc_currency, $ipn_track_id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();
}
Does anyone know what could be the issue please? cant seem to get this working no matter what i try. I have IPN enabled in my business paypal account.
Thank you
PayPal Sandbox upgraded to provide more secured API certificate with SHA-256, 2048 bit. This was verified using the openssl command provided in
https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1915&viewlocale=en_US
Now when I tested using the existing old (SHA-1, 1024 bit) API certificate on sandbox, it worked properly.
But when a new API certificate (SHA-256, 2048 bit) was created and used for testing on sandbox then it started giving error response from sandbox,
ACK=Failure
L_ERRORCODE0=10001
L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Internal Error

Please anyone can point out what might be the cause of this error?

I have double verified the API username and API passowrd. As well as the API certificate. Even re-created the API certificate from cert_key_pem.txt obtained by downloading it from sandbox account.
I'm using IPN Simulator to send the requests:
https://developer.paypal.com/developer/ipnSimulator
When I receive the IPN, I make a POST to paypal with the same data, adding &cmd=_notify-validate at the end. Problem is I always receive "INVALID" response. Is it because of IPN simulator or am I posting a wrong request ?
This is my IPN Controller:
[HttpPost]
public string IPN()
{
bool useSandbox = true;
StringBuilder to_send = new StringBuilder();
foreach (string key in Request.Form.Keys)
{
if (to_send.ToString().Equals(""))
to_send.AppendFormat("{0}={1}", key, Request.Form[key]);
else
to_send.AppendFormat("&{0}={1}", key, Request.Form[key]);
}
string paypalUrl = useSandbox ? "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
: "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(paypalUrl);
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
to_send.AppendFormat("&{0}={1}", "cmd", "_notify-validate");
string strRequest = to_send.ToString();
req.ContentLength = strRequest.Length;
string response = "";
using (StreamWriter streamOut = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII))
{
streamOut.Write(strRequest);
streamOut.Close();
using (StreamReader streamIn = new StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
{
response = streamIn.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}

Edit 1:
I tried changing the encoding to UTF-8 as it says on paypal documentation, but it still doesn't work :
Ensure that you use the same character encoding for your response string as the encoding specified in the charset field of the original IPN message. When testing using the IPN Simulator, the character encoding will always be UTF-8.
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strRequest);
string response = "";
using (BinaryWriter streamOut = new BinaryWriter(req.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8))
{
streamOut.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
streamOut.Close();
using (StreamReader streamIn = new StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
{
response = streamIn.ReadToEnd();
}
}
Is it possible that the variables in Request.Form are not in the order they have been sent ?
cmd=_notify-validate is required to be preceding the original variables not succeeding them, you may want make some adjustment in your to_send StringBuilder code block to something like this:
StringBuilder to_send = new StringBuilder();
to_send.Append("cmd=_notify-validate");
foreach (string key in Request.Form.Keys)
{
to_send.AppendFormat("&{0}={1}", key, Request.Form[key]);
}
string strRequest = to_send.ToString();
p.s Refer here for IPN trouble shooting tips , this would be quite helpful as most of the issues have been covered in there

Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance,

This error returned by Paypal is vague. Most common reason for this error is discrepancy between BillingDescription value in SetExpressCheckout call and ScheduleDEtails.Description in CreateRecurringprofile call. Make sure these two are exactly the same for this to work.
Eg:
public CreateRecurringPaymentsProfileResponseType createRecurringProfile(string tokenin){
var scheduleDetails = new ScheduleDetailsType();
scheduleDetails.PaymentPeriod = paymentPeriod;
scheduleDetails.Description = "RecurringBilling";
}
public SetExpressCheckoutResponseType setExpressCheckout()
{
....
var billingAgreement = new BillingAgreementDetailsType();
billingAgreement.BillingAgreementDescription = "RecurringBilling";
billingAgreement.BillingType = BillingCodeType.RECURRINGPAYMENTS;
billingAgreement.PaymentType = MerchantPullPaymentCodeType.ANY;
ecDetails.BillingAgreementDetails.Add(billingAgreement);
...
}
