I have a Buy Now button on my site. When I logged in to the PayPal sandbox and clicked on the Buy Now button through my site, it was redirecting to the desired page from where I could log in with the buyer's email id and password.
But when I was not logged in to the PayPal sandbox first, after clicking on the Buy Now button the page was redirecting to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr.
When clicking on the PayPal sandbox link, the page was redirecting to the site https://developer.paypal.com/ where I was trying to log in as a buyer, but it showed this error:
The email address or password you have entered does not match our records. Please try again.
However, I am confident that I am giving the right information to log in as a buyer.
Can someone explain how to make a test payment?
You can't use a 'normal' email address/password for this.
Login to your developer account and click "Create a preconfigured account" and add the details in - take note of the email address and the password you enter (the email address will look a little funky)
When prompted to login within the sandbox, use the email address and password you created inside your developer account to login.
I had this problem. The reason why it happens is because, for some reason you need to go to https://developer.paypal.com and login, create the test business account and personal account, and stay logged in during transactions.
This means every pc you run a test transaction through paypal sandbox, you should be logged into your account on https://developer.paypal.com.
This may just be a bug in and walk around solution for this but it worked for me.

i have read Paypal login api but it says it works like facebook and twitter login not the way i want it to.
you can use Mass payment service from PayPal, where you can transfer the amount to your customer's PayPal account. You can send to many customer at once, only you need is their account mail ID. For more details about Mass payment kindly

Please advice why this happne.
This also happened to me once. I think I used multitabbed browsing and was still logged with my business account. This produced certain amount of cookies stored locally :-) and the login with the personal account was refused.
Close the tabs, clean up all PP cookies and give it another try.

Found the issue. I have been redirecting to the live paypal payment gateway. I need to redirect the user to the sandbox paypal url.
This type of a question can be found here.
Paypal sandbox - test payment
I am trying to set up a donation script for my game. I have one a friend of mine let me use. It apparently is all working (But wasnt). Whenever they open up the page in there Steam Overlay it brings them to " https://www.sandbox.paypal.com " and when they try to login to send me money it will not let them log into there Paypal account. I have had multiple people try. Non of them could log in.
You can only use test payments in the sandbox environment with special sandbox customer accounts which need to be setup by the sandbox Business account holder. Your regular paypal accounts will not work.
Have fun,

I am developing a website with PayPal integration for people to pay money. At my PayPal payment page there contain form for buyers to make payment without PayPal account. During the sandbox development, everything works fine. Now, I am using real account. The problem is, now buyers can't pay without login. When try to pay with the form, PayPal return error saying:
You cannot use an e-mail address or card number that belongs to an existing PayPal account. If you have a PayPal account, please log in. If you don't, please change the e-mail address or card number and try again.
The thing is, I have tried it with card number and email that has never been used with PayPal, but I am also getting the same error message.
Do you have any idea why it happen? How can I solve it?
Thank you.
