Paypal PAYOUT_NOT_AVAILABLE - php

Question

My sandbox account return this error when creating a payout
{
"name": "PAYOUT_NOT_AVAILABLE",
"message": "You live in a country that is not allowed to send this payout.",
}
This error is not listed in https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors
The account is configured in México (MX) and the official documentation includes MX in the payouts docs.
Am I missing something? Can't find any doc that excludes specific countries.
Just some exceptions for Argentina, Brazil and Malaysia.
It also defiens Mexican currency in the features

I happened to find a similar endpoint but the weird thing is that it's not listed in the main APIs menu but it seems to be working, for reference check:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/payouts/test
Update: it seems to be related to the test data that's used in the note field, even if using batch payouts the following changed the result status:
{
"sender_batch_header": {
"sender_batch_id": "Payouts_2018_100007",
"email_subject": "You have a payout!",
"email_message": "You have received a payout! Thanks for using our service!"
},
"items":[
{
"recipient_type": "EMAIL",
"amount": {
"value": "500",
"currency": "MXN"
},
"note": "POSPYO001",
"sender_item_id": "201403140001",
"receiver": "ss36#business.example.com",
"alternate_notification_method": {
"phone": {
"country_code": "52",
"national_number": "4491110560"
}
},
"notification_language": "sp-SP"
}
]
}
A single payout looks like this:
{
"sender_payout_header":
{
"sender_batch_id": "1524086406556",
"email_subject": "This email is related to simulation"
},
"items": [
{
"recipient_type": "EMAIL",
"receiver": "payouts-simulator-receiver#paypal.com",
"note": "POSPYO001",
"sender_item_id": "15240864065560",
"amount":
{
"currency": "USD",
"value": "1.00"
}
}]
}

Answer 2

I was having the same issue and it was because my country(India) name is present in supported countries list of PayPal but i got to know about PayPal Commerce Platform availability where it is not supporting India. Check below link
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/reference/country-codes/?mark=countries#paypal-commerce-platform-availability
My work is only on sandbox account of paypal for testing so i simply created new test account of country US.
Possibly your paypal account is from any country listed in above link. Please check country of your main paypal account.
