Everything was working fine last Friday, but today I have been getting the following message:
.
The message I get when trying to make a payment using paypal sandbox is this:
We can't process your payment right now, so please try again later.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.
It's been like this all day, not sure if something has happened to my system or if something has happened to paypal's sandbox?
NOTIFICATION FROM PAYPAL:
Notification: Issues with Sandbox with preconfigured accounts - Jan 24
Source: https://www.x.com/content/notification-issues-sandbox-preconfigured-accounts-jan-24
WORKAROUND:
Create a non UK preconfigured account or create a manual account.
If everything worked fine then maybe time messed it up so wait for time or check it out again later :). If too long then contact paypal support.

I was trying to get the details of my sandbox test accounts in paypal unfortunately, it came up empty and just says this
We’re sorry, something went wrong while fetching test accounts. Please try again.
I also can't see my app in "My apps and credentials" and just says the same thing.
I tried to make a transaction to one of my sandbox test accounts and process the payment flawlessly.
I was wondering how long do I have to wait? or Does paypal have their server overload?
This seems to be an issue with PayPal itself, since there are other people with same issue today. We need to wait for PayPal to solve this.
EDIT: Weekend is over, PayPal Sandbox is working! :)
As of February 27, 2017 10:01 PM GMT 8+.
It seems the site is back to normal again. I could view my apps and the sandbox test accounts I created.
Yes, I have the test accounts in developer tool
And it was working fine today (2016, November 11) early, the last test was like at 3:30pm.
I was buying things (sandbox) and worked fine, but after 4 pm, when i try to buy something, the POST sends me to the sandbox main page, not the one with the item description, amount, etc...
Also, I try to login into the test facilitator or buyer account on sandbox, and I get this query string:
sandbox.paypal.com/signin?resType=code&failedBecause=securityTokenError
I don't know what happened, it was working fine today in the morning, before some final test I was coding something not related to the payments so I can't edit something about the buying code.
I even created a new paypal account, created the test users in developers tool, still the same
I'm brand new to setting up IPN's. I've built websites, but never a subscription site like the one I'm building now. I'd like to set up a recurring monthly subscription option and a recurring yearly subscription option.
My website is built on Joomla 3 and I'm using a plugin for the subscription module. I set up the PayPal subscription buttons just as explained in the directions, which I followed to the letter. Nevertheless, when I go to test it in the PayPal sandbox, I keep getting the same error, which says that it wasn't sent and the handshake wasn't made, and to check my settings. That's all it says. I don't know if the issue is with my site, my server or the settings I'm entering into the actual sandbox. I checked with my server and they said there's nothing wrong on their end. Do I need an SSL for the integration to work?
Please keep in mind that, while I can follow explicit directions, I'm so new at this that I don't even know how to access my 'listener,' so if you respond, please let me know where to find things, if necessary.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated - I've been at this for 12 hours now and I'm at a complete loss.
This issue has two sides
1. Is Paypal IPN enabled on the sandbox account where you are trying to receive the payments
2. You would need a IPN listener script to get the IPN notifications
This process is the same for Sandbox or live mode

We have successfully implemented PayPal Payment Advance in TEST mode. Till yesterday, we were getting proper response http data from paypal after the order has been placed. However, today, after I enter test visa number and expire date/ year.. It shows following message instead of giving me back post data.
"Thank you for your purchase, we are currently reviewing your order."
Due to this, I am not able to work further. This is test sandbox account where i have setup PPA.
Got the answer... By mistake, i had update settings in paypal for "Payment Review" to Enable. I disabled it and got it working again. Hope this helps anyone in future to check this basic stuff first.
I'm using the codeigniter library from angelleye's library (http://www.angelleye.com/download-codeigniter-php-library-for-paypal-payments-pro/).
For a few days, it worked smoothly without any errors. Today when I tested it I got no response from paypal.
I contacted the author(Andrew), and he said that the paypal sandbox server is timing out with the do direct payment.
My question is, how do I fix this?
The PayPal sandbox does that at times, and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it but wait on PayPal to get things working smoothly.
The sandbox has been running great for awhile now, but it seems that with many of the recent changes they're making (they're working on a new sandbox, and they're pushing PayFlow more than DirectPayment now) the DirectPayment API on the sandbox has been suffering.
In fact, just now I was about to respond and let you know that last time I tried it was working fine. I went to test it and sure enough, it timed out again. I tried again, though, and it worked fine. So unfortunately, the sandbox is just pretty hit and miss these days with DirectPayment.
You could always switch to PayFlow, which is what they're pushing these days, and my library supports it now if you have the latest version.
