Hello,

If you create a new sandbox account, by default it has 5000 balance available.

You can edit the account from the developer dashboard and change the amount to zero and save the change.

If you make a "sale" transaction, the funds should be taken from the account immediately. Try using the "send money" feature and enter another sandbox account email address and complete the payment.

The transaction should show under "account activity" and also be reflected in the balance of both sender and receiver accounts.

Thanks !
