Hello,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Sandbox Community.

The error message of Validation Error with Webhooks usually means that your listener did not validate the information correctly.

Here is information on configuration and testing with the simulator:

Here are some SDKs to help with the verification of webhooks:

Thank you,
