Subscription purchases w/sandbox do not work due to setup fee issues. Javascript SDK + REST APIs

1) Created sandbox app in 1/2024 time frame.
2) Create products and billing plans using REST API.  Can list billing plans and patch without issue.
3) Test subscription purchase with sandbox account.

4) If purchase a plan with setup fee of 0, encounter "Sorry cannot complete payment. Try other method" type error.

5) If purchase a plan with non zero setup fee, the purchase completes but PayPal eventually sends webhook message: BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.PAYMENT.FAILED.

Catch 22. Subscription support cannot be implemented. Very Sad.


Why does purchase fail in case 3-4 - with any sandbox account I create and test with
Why does payment fail in case 5 - with any sandbox account I create and test with.
