I was working with paypal sandbox account. It was working fine. But, now it shows the following error.

PayPal Error

The cookies are enabled. I tried using different browser and a different computer. Still I'm getting the same error. I tried clearing the cookies and cache. But it didn't work. Any solution?

  • Sorry for adding comment so late. I contacted PayPal and they said they were experiencing some issues. And, the problem was solved automatically and almost very soon – tanuja90 Mar 26 '15 at 06:55

This is a Paypal's issue which affects Express Checkout on the PayPal Sandbox. Paypal announced that there is no alternative workaround at the moment.

This works for me: Paypal Sandbox Frustration

To simplify:

  1. Login first your developer's account here: http://developer.paypal.com
  2. Open another tab and login your developer's merchant account here: https://paypalmanager.sandbox.paypal.com/apiAccess.do?subaction=api
  3. Open another tab again and do your express checkout process.

  • I'm trying to solve this problem but after login here: https://paypalmanager.sandbox.paypal.com/apiAccess.do?subaction=api I'm having error: "This Sandbox email address is not available. Please enter another email address" – komluk Feb 25 '15 at 13:24

    This solution does not work for me and I also have the same issue - "cookies are turned off" – j99 Feb 25 '15 at 14:29
  • @komluk you should create a merchant and buyer sandbox account on your developer's dashboard under accounts' tab. – John Micah Fernandez Miguel Feb 26 '15 at 03:35

To add an experience : In the beginning I had serious SSL issues when connecting to sandbox for a SetExpressCheckout: The type of error was javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException Error

To bypass this error (never happened before), i added the api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com certificate to my java truststore.

After that, the setCheckout responded correctly with a valid token, but I run into the 'cookie are turned off' problem, for almost 8 hours now. None of my websites is working with the sandbox environment.

I think nothing can be done until PayPal make things clearer with some announcement.
