Fret not Kernowlass.  We've finally arrived.   My problem was that the profile_settings/email_address/update window introduces the "add email address" feature as a cryptic + symbol without benefit of either label or tooltip. Meanwhile, the account_settings/manage_users/update window (which also introduces new email addresses) has a perfectly explicit "Add user" button. Masterly!   Many thanks for taking so much trouble over this. For the benefit of anyone else struggling with this issue, the answer to my question is YES, you can change your primary email address, and PHEW!   With best wishes, MartinJ ... View more

OK - after a huge struggle I managed to get a secondary user registered. Now to substitute this for my primary.   "go back and click on update and tick the box underneath that says make primary"   I interpret this as "go to profile settings/Login and security, where it says "Email Address" and offers an "Update" button.  A new popup now opens with an Edit button. I click this and it says "We're sorry. You can't change your primary email address". There is no "remove" option.   Where am I going wrong?   MJ ... View more

Update - looking further into the "profile" for my new user I can now see that it wants to perform an "identity check". Looks like that's the initial problem at least. Will update this topic once I've cleared the problem.  MJ ... View more

Many thanks for picking this up, @kernowlass.   We've obviously been reading the same documentation. I'd previously picked up the advice about creating a secondary user and had gone through the procedure - creating a user/validating/setting profile and received a tick here. But the tick-receipt procedure then redirected me to my prime account where, I now realise, the entry to the "additional user" entry on my "manage users" page (which had previously displayed a "pending" status) now shows a read "action required" status.   There's no indication here of what action might be required and no indication during the verification procedure that anything was amiss. There's no sign of your "make primary" box either, though this might not be surprising if the account hasn't been properly registered.   So, I'm encouraged by your belief that there's a possible route that might enable me to change my primary email, but apparently snarled up on some unstated validation check.   Do you have any suggestions as regards what might be wrong or how I might investigate this subsidiary issue further? Just now it looks as if there's something on my account that simply prevents me from creating additional users.   Best wishes, MJ   ... View more

The email address registered as my primary Paypal address will shortly become defunct. When I log in with my primary address and try to change it I'm told this is not possible. Various Paypal online documents contradict this but it appears that these are out of date.   Do I really have to cancel my existing account and all its associated test data and start again? ...

    My simple integration uses a client-id to collect online payments. I'm being asked to renew my API certificate. As far as I can see I've never used this, but I'm wondering if a requirement to renew my API certificate also implies I need to need a new client-id too.   Advice would be much appreciated ...

IPN has stopped working in Sandbox

by MartinJ2 Contributor in About Business

Hi. I'm having /real/ trouble with IPN in Sandbox. It was working fine until a couple of days ago when notifications just stopped. I can't figure out why. My LIstener is still fine and responds to Simulator testing. The only thing that looks odd is that when I try to "Link my sandbox a/c to my developer a/c" I get "This a/c is already linked to another a/c".  But then I get this with a brand new Sandbox a/c too - most perplexing. Also I don't have a "developer a/c" as such, right?  I just have a paypal a/c.   My paypal a/c is the thing that tells Paypal that I want to use IPN, so linking seems important, but since I logged into the Sandbox with my paypal a/c I'm struggling to understand why I need to "link sandbox a/c" in the first place.   As a postscript I've just noticed that although my custom-button testing enters Paypal Sandbox fine and completes the transaction correctly I'm not getting anything in the Sandbox notifications area now either - the last entry was made some four days ago. I've just repeated the test using the simulator (I used cut and paste to make sure I was using exactly the same return address for the IPN). This does trigger an IPN response (and I see the testing email in the listener) but again there are no notifications - I would have expected to see them against the default accounts in my Sandbox (else why are they there?). All very mysterious.    I'm starting to wonder if the Sandbox is broken at present. Browsing in the "support" area of the Sandbox I gather that the system thinks everything is fine. Unfortunately I can see no way to raise a ticket. Does anyone know different?   Advice would be greatly appreciated.   Regards, MartinJ2 ... View more
