Sandbox Account for Digital Goods

Question

I have a PayPal account lets say '[e-mail]'. Within the account there are two sandbox accounts one for seller and the other one for buyer. From what I have read I need to enable my account for accepting payment on digital goods.

May I know on which account I need to enable this (PayPal / Sandbox account) ? Because I believe I have enable it on my PayPal account but I still get the same error as follow

You are not signed up to accept payment for digitally delivered goods.

The test sandbox seller account email is [e-mail]. By the way, is it still safe to reuse the same email in production environment ?

Answer 1

You would need to enable this on the test sandbox seller account. If you can provide the email address for your test sandbox seller account, I can enable this feature on your account from my end.

Answer 2

I managed to change an Express Checkout sandbox account to a "PayPal Digital Goods (Express Checkout)" account by hitting the following URL while logged in on the sandbox account:

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_product-go&product=additional_payment&signup_profile=dg

This is a bit reverse engineered (after visiting www.paypal.com/digitalgoods and following the link to enable a digital goods account put "sandbox." in front of paypal.com) but it looks like it works.
