I'm getting a 10548 error when I try to make a payment through the gateway software I am using, it was working well with the sandbox and this appears to be an account issue however I am unable to find a way to resolve it. I am running a business account, all verified with an associated bank account. There aren't any notifications at this point so from everything I can see it should be good but the error remains. There doesn't seem to be any way to get hold of a support person from Paypal.
The software is Unifi console.
