I've spent about an hour trying to figure out what information to use to test credit card transactions in the PayPal Sandbox environment. No matter what I try I get the "Invalid Data This transaction cannot be processed." error. I'm using the Classic API.

I created a personal verified account with a Visa credit card in my developer account but the credit card information generated by the system yield the same error. Here's a screen of the account: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s141/sh/e2a7147c-9cfb-4587-814d-13fdd97d1c29/a1e3d97e505071d6f927a71195f06f2f

After searching I found this post https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/paypal-sandbox/how-test-sandbox-paypal-using-pay-credit-card I then logged into that Sandbox account, went to Profile > Credit/Debit Cards > Add a Card, chose Visa but the credit card number wasn't pre-populate as I had hoped. Here's a screen: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s141/sh/5cfce2b8-da2f-4147-abf5-5d742995b3ca/6d6e1541cbb5809e0e14972d2d81f4bb

I'm really at a loss now. Any help would be really appreciated :)

P.S. I've already tried the cliche test numbers like 4444333322221111 but nothing seems to work.

Try using some of these test credit card numbers. If it still does not work can you provide the API request you are sending, and the full API response you are getting back and I will look it up on my side and see whats causing the issue.

Visa Test Card Numbers - You can use 123 for the CVV2, and any valid future date for the exp date.
