In the new PayPal Sandbox, we want to test the IPN, with a payment_status of denied.
The old PayPal sandbox used to allow us to view the transaction history and Accept/Deny a transaction.
Seems the new Sandbox account hierarchy seems to be confused. When clicking History it redirects back to the REAL paypal.com site, not sandbox.paypal.com, and hence shows the wrong history.
Steps to reproduce:
log via developer.paypal.com
go to "Enter sandbox site" under Applications, now logged into https://paypalmanager.sandbox.paypal.com with the correct account showing, great
Click history, redirected to https://history.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_history, which shows the REAL history. Grrr.
Any ideas? Happy for a hack, just want to fire a deny request for a sandbox transaction so we can test.
It's a known issue - sorry. Trying to change the URL to the Sandbox one still redirects you to the Live site and, occasionally for whatever reason, a security certificate page. A fix is coming soon.
If you want to be updated on the issue as it goes on you create a ticket at PayPal.com/mts, let me know what the ticket number is, and I can grab it.
Edit:
This should be resolved now. I cleared my cache and cookies, closed the browser, and tried it out. I was able to view the transaction history in the Sandbox.
we're having the same issue on our end. What works for us is firing up an incognito window in Google Chrome and login via there. It's a hack, but it works.

So I'm working with a system that uses the legacy NVP/IPN thing from PayPal. The IPN listener URL wasn't set up properly and so they ran a couple weeks worth of transactions with no IPN data coming back. I've set it up properly now, but I'm wondering if there is a way to regenerate that last couple weeks that never had any. Whenever I go to the IPN history page, I just get a this feature is not available message. I know it's now working because I can see three transactions in our database (that come through the IPN listener)
On another note, if I go to the download history page and try to click download, the page refreshes but nothing happens. I don't get a report or anything, any idea why?
It sounds as though you're looking for the IPN history page, where you can resend IPNs: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-ipns-history
Late edit: changed title to better reflect the true question (it's not about regenerating IPNs). And the answer is it's not possible. Instead, for past IPN-less activity one must manually import a CSV obtained from www.paypal.com account home -> Reports -> Activity Download
This is the URL: https://business.paypal.com/merchantdata/reportHome
If once in the Activity Download, "Create Report" does not work properly (e.g. "nothing happens"), contact PayPal's support for assistance as that is not normal.
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.
I am using the PHP Toolkit for PayPal v0.51
I have setup Pay Pal sandbox accounts and done a test to the ipn.php that comes back as working ok.
I have set the config.inc.php to suit my settings
PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze15 mysql and cURL installed all is working fine.
When using with IE
everything works fine, the transaction is returned to the success.php and in the ipn_success.php
I have it updating the database with the information posted back from Pay Pal.
When using Firefox
Everything works fine till I get to the part where it returns me back to the success.php
I get a Security Warning box open up with the below information within it.
Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?
If I click the warning straight away I get the information posted back and the database is updated.
If I leave this warning for a few seconds, I lose all the information that is posted back to the site for the database.
How can I stop this security warning from showing when using Firefox
The website is using http and not using https so Pay Pay is posting back to a non ssl site.
This is actually a known issue with FireFox that we are currently looking into. If you would like to be notified once the issue is resolved, you can open up a ticket with PayPal's Merchant Technical Support. PPXO-7400
Since PayPal changed their website for developers I can't use it anymore. Before I had some test accounts setup and I was able to go in, create buttons and so-on. Now I have imported my previous accounts but I can't log into them, just getting The requested resource () is not available. 404. If I clear browser cache and cookies, it just tells me to login (using my developer-login details, not the test details) and I can't come in. Their support says clear cache and it works... Stupid PayPal.
Anyone knows what to do?
I tried to update Chrome and Firefox to latest versions and then cleared all cookies/cache then logged into developer account and then tried to login to test accounts.
I always get this 404 message: http://snag.gy/rL5t2.jpg
HTTP Status 404
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.15-150
We're aware of this issue and are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. In the interim, you can manually remove the '/se/' from the URL included in the screenshot, which will bring you to the correct page (https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/home).
Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll get this fixed soon!

DISCLAIMER: This question is specifically for the Paypal forum.
I have two Sandbox test accounts. parijat_kalia#hotmail.com (PERSONAL) and parijat_kalia-facilitator#hotmail.com (BUSINESS). The second one has the API credentials and I am using the NVP API to test our e-commerce subscription plan
. The response I get is :
10501: Invalid Configuration This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration. Occurs when the billing agreement is disabled or inactive.
Hence, to activate it, I presume I need to log in with this sandbox account into the sandbox website so as to activate the billing agreement. The steps I follow are pretty basic.
Login to developers.paypal.com
Click on Applications tab in the horizontal menu
Click on Sandbox accounts in the vertical menu
Click on the specific accounts 'parijat_kalia-facilitator#hotmail.com' dropdown arrow button.
Click on Sandbox site
When i click on sandbox site, it loads in the PERSONAL account in the email i.e 'parijat_kalia#hotmail.com'. I obviously change this and try to login with the business account credentials. However it does not log me in whatsoever. I have changed the password, literally copy pasted it, but it does not work. Nor does deleting the cookies/clearing the cache and terminating the history help. Also, I am using Chrome, not IE.
Also, I presume this error is with Paypal's sandbox website, since the API call is technically logging me in with the credentials (I infer this since I am getting error 10501).
Can you please tell me what is going wrong?
I had an issue similar to that the other day. I was trying to switch from one developer account to another, but it kept logging me in as the first one. So, I couldn't use any of the sandbox accounts for the 2nd account.
I circumvented this issue by switching to private browsing mode in chrome (ctrl+shift+N) and logging in that way.
I can't guarantee this will fix your issue because it's not the same as mine, but it might help.
Misplacedme's answer worked for me, but I don't have enough rep yet, so I'll reply and add some info.
Chrome: Use an Incognito Window (ctrl+shift+N)
Opera: Use a New Private Window (ctrl+shift+N)
IE: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Firefox: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Safari: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Note: These are all on a Windows 8 PC (sorry, I know most people in their right mind aren't using win8 much less developers)
