We're aware of this issue and our developers are currently investigating.
If you want a sandbox account linked to your developer account, please share the merchant id for both accounts and I can manually link them.
Once the issue has been resolved, I'll post back in this thread.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Thanks !

@MTS_Justin thanks for linking my accounts, I followed the instruction to request advanced debit and credit processing, everything seems to go fine without any errors, but I am still getting false when calling `paypal.HostedFields.isEligible()`. Could you please help me resolve this?
Thanks in advance
