I don't know whether it affects the order process. I just do the plain stupid thing and manually mark it "Processing." People who do want to accept payments online through Paypal should be aware that they reserve the right to put the money on hold for 21 days. This was the explanation I got. Money from sales is being withheld because: You’re new to PayPal, or we have limited history on your selling activity with this account. To get your money sooner, please complete ALL of the below actions: Process an additional 10 transaction(s) Receive an additional $200.00 USD in sales Have an account in good standing for 60 days Confirm your mobile phone number Any payments received will be held for up to 21 days. If there are no issues with your orders, the money held will be automatically released after 21 days. Hence, in my experience, the credit cards have been processed, but I won't be able to access the money until I fulfill the above criteria. I am just proceeding in good faith. It is annoying that you can only test the Paypal payments and not the credit card payments in the Sandbox. Best Wishes, Rabbit Roar
