Hello Friends:
I've been searching around to try and figure out my issue (Google, This Community, StackOverflow, etc), but with no luck.
SIMPLE PROBLEM:
- When I logged into my Developer account (which I don't do very often) to create a Sandbox account, the two default Sandbox accounts that PayPal automatically created for me (connect-facilitator-AT-myDomain and connect-buyer-AT-myDomain) resulted in an Error states. No explanation was given. It just said to delete them and try recreating them.
- I deleted both and proceeded to create my own (with a different email address), which resulted in the same Error state with no explanation.
- I have tried different 20-character passwords that include NUMBERS, LETTERS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS, UPPERCASE, LOWERCASE, etc.
- I've tried different seed Amounts: $9999, $10000, $100 (but without the dollar sign).
- I have tried different email addresses with varying formats. All indicated that they were available.
Is it a developer account issue (perhaps a setting somewhere that is prohibiting my creating a Sandbox account)? I something else?
I'm really at a loss as to how to succeed here because no useful feedback is given.
Help sorely needed and appreciated. (._.)
Thank you in advance! 🙂
