Right. So this is an odd one, but I can't find anywhere suggesting any fixes I can do, and PayPal isn't responding to my support requests.
Last week I updated to the new version of PayPal Developer. This was fine, and I was able to do Sandbox testing with it. Please note that that is the case - it was working.
On Friday, it just stopped working. I have now tried it on four different devices, wiped all the cookies, caches and everything else. I've used a mobile device over cellular connection and Firefox, Chrome and Opera on three different desktops. What I get every time I try and make a payment is the below message. I have done everything it has suggested and more.
This message is displayed after logging into the developer sandbox, and trying to make a payment through a PayPal Payments Standard Encrypted Web Payment Button.
If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.
If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don't use your browser's Back button) and restart your activity.
If you came from PayPal's website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.
We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking your Account Overview before resending a payment.
For some browsers, this problem can be resolved by clearing or deleting cookies.
Message 4003
This is not the full message, but the full message repeats the bold text in several different languages.
Now, this seems to be a sandbox problem, as my live code is working fine, but I have a project I can't release without testing, and I can't test it. Does anyone have any ideas?
I can accept temporary difficulties, but this has been like this since Friday morning (so 72 hours ago) and I haven't received any response from PayPal on it (despite the 24 hour return they promised).
A better question of course, might be "is anyone else having this problem?"
Resolved. PayPal was most unhelpful in telling me that I'd managed to switch two variables around - hence the problem.
Note to self, and to other developers: if you're having problems sending something to PayPal and you think it should work, try using it without the encryption. PayPal's system was perfectly willing to tell me the problem once I wasn't sending a encrypted data package.

I am trying to create an apple developer account for past 3 weeks. after selecting
"Select your entity type = Individual" and "Terms & Condition = agree"
an error appears saying "Your enrollment could not be completed". I called support several times and mailed several time they all just simply say at this moment you cannot enroll. when I ask for the reason they simply say they don't no. If they don't know who else would no? I am just stuck here. I cannot publish my app due to their error and they are not helping at all. really frustrating.
additional info:
after I click on the agree button
The browser does a POST to https://developer.apple.com/services-enrollment/submitIndividualEnrollment
Result of this POST is 406 with below json
{"responseId":"7d97f000-ab5e-4a26-9cc3-6498dc322f33","resultCode":202000,"resultString":"Your request could not be processed","userString":"Your request could not be processed","creationTimestamp":"2020-06-30T13:04:36Z","userLocale":"en_US","requestUrl":"https://developer.apple.com/services-enrollment/submitIndividualEnrollment","httpCode":406}
I had the same issue
Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.
I managed to sort it out through getting Apple Phone Support (Durind US working hours : Mon-Fri,9:00 AM–7:00 PM CST).
They sent me a couple of mails in which they had a link to upload my ID Proof.
Once I uploaded I contacted them in the same way. They got me verified my ID Proof and unlocked my enrollment. Then I did continue to the enrollment payments process
You can also use the mail support. But its a slow process of getting what we need from support
Contacting Apple Phone Support:-
Login to Apple Developer Console
Click Contact US in left menu
In the next page choose Membership and Account
In the next popup select Programme Enrolment
Select Phone in the Phone or Email
Enter your Phone Number. They will call in you within a couple of minutes
I had the same issue, ""Your enrollment could not be completed" and below the text "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."
I found out that so many people have this issue and that Apple does not seem to help out, here is just one example: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/129762
I tried different browsers and credit cards without any luck. Then I suddenly managed to enroll from my iPhone, via web over CELLULAR, like this:
Disable wifi on iPhone
Follow through Apples enroll process https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/
I cannot go through the process again to verify, but this was the only changed parameter in my strategy. Hope this can help others.
been trying to wrap my head around an issue I have with the IPN tester, not 100% sure if its my hosting company's problem or Paypal Developer 'beta' to be honest but my IPN's have worked fine on a few sites I have for atleast a year and now it doesn't on any of them. I've not changed anything and now im getting
IPN Delivery Failed:I/O error: www.mywebsitesname.co.uk; nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: www.mywebsitesname.co.uk
and none of my NotifyUrl.ashx handlers are working.
any ideas what this actually means in english? any more info. from me required to help you diagnose my issue?
#
AS AN UPDATE (27-08-2013), I thought I would try out the original C# SDK sample code from Paypal that I used to set up my IPN's with about a year or three ago (ie. it worked great with the IPN simulator). I have put it onto two different hosting companies servers to check its not an issue with a particular hosting server and my results using the IPN Simulator show "error 500: internal server error" for one and "IPN Delivery Failed:I/O error: www.ang##########.co.uk; nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: www.ang############.co.uk".
In short, I have the same identical sample file from Paypal (that used to work) in the root of each hosting companies servers and im using the same IPN simulator settings, with the exception of the IPN handler URL has the webaddress of the server followed by '/Handler.ashx' (which is the handler file) but i'm getting different errors.
Also to make this a bit more interesting, today I correctly received an IPN from Paypal to one of the same hosting server webaddress, with a 'transaction_subject : PayPal money request from xxxxxxxx' which was received and processed by my existing IPN handler (not the sample one from Paypal) and returned the correct info. to receive 'IPN Response: VERIFIED DateTime: 27-08-2013 19:05' so this got through and worked fine.
So in conclusion, I wonder if Paypal have either changed something and not informed the community or have an issue with their IPN simulator / CART IPN. If anyone can help or if a Paypal support engineer would like to work with me to try out some code, etc, please get back to me as I will keep trying to solve this but to be honest I see not what else I can do from my end as I've seen working IPN and a non working IPN simulator.
As extra info. here is an IPN Message as from my sandbox seller test account, that can't get through to my IPN handler on one of the same hosting servers (returns error 500) yet this used to get through and nothing has changed.

Still hoping we can resolve this soon.
Many Thanks.

I've been sending DoDirectPayment calls to PayPal for years with no problem and recently I've had periods of an hour or more where these calls don't get answered by PayPal and after about four minutes the cURL software that sent the call times out and generates the error:
DoDirectPayment failed: couldn't connect to host(7)
Then suddenly, after an hour or more of no customers being able to make a payment, and without me doing anything on my end, the calls start getting answered again by PayPal and people can again make payments.
It acts like the PayPal server gets overloaded and drops requests. Then when their load goes down they start answering all their requests again.
The $API_Endpoint the cURL is using is https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp.
The version of the PayPal protocol I'm using is 95.0.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be going on?
Thanks for your help.
I have not heard of anyone else reporting any issues similar to this. A couple of things that you may want to check into is with your hosting provider to make sure they were not having any type of network and check PayPal's Site Status pages to see if there were any outages or updates going on at the times you experienced the issues, as they could of caused the issues you are seeing.
I have old Sandbox business & personal accounts that stopped working. I have to go back and test a site I developed two years ago. I saw a reference to importing these accounts on the new site but every link seems to go in circles. I certainly can't afford time to rewrite all my client's api's even if they would pay me just to go into testing mode.
Can someone suggest how I might revive these accounts.
There are currently some issues that are being addressed to resolve this issue. As a workaround try using FireFox or Chrome if you were using IE. Clear your cookies and chache prior to opening up that browhwer. Then go to developer.paypal.com and log in with your live PayPal account email address. Then try importing your accounts. There have been more issues with IE than the other browsers.

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)
