Hi - Looks like we're having issues with the Sandbox IPN again. I went to conduct a test transaction earlier this morning and ... nothing. I tried again, and again ... nothing.
So I logged into the Sandbox portal to check the Merchant account IPN history and I received a "Rate limit blocked" message (even though I only check one time). I closed the tab, reopened it and now when I navigate to the IPN history page the browser throws a 400 Bad Request.
Did something change or is the environment having issues again?
Thanks

Hello,
Please share the merchant id / payer id for the sandbox account which you're currently using.
Details on how to retrieve the merchant id / payer id for a sandbox business account can be found in the thread pinned to the top of this forum titled "how to report a sandbox issue".
Do not post any email addresses or they'll be removed, only the merchant id / payer id for the sandbox account will be accepted.
Thanks !
