I got this error, when I was trying to execute payment, that user had not payed yet, i.e. you make a pay request, then receive a pay key, then using this pay key user must follow url and pay (money will go to primary receiver), and after all you should execute payment to transfer money to secondary receivers.

Url I used in sandbox for user to pay:

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webscr&cmd=_ap-payment&paykey={{pay_key}},

where {{pay_key}} is a key from pay request.
