Test PayPal payments not showing up in sandbox

I'm working the Adaptive Payment .Net API samples. I've setup my test account stuff and everything runs fine with a "success" transaction. The only problem is I neither see debits fr开发者_开发知识库om the payees nor credits to the seller.

What gives?

I would make sure that everything works as you expect it to in the Pay Pal Virual Terminal before you try to get the API's to work.

I had many problems getting the sandbox to work. I would get different errors with the different accounts I set up. What I ended up doing is creating a new account and then everything started to work. I had to set up three different accounts before I got the sandbox to work. The production environment worked from the jump.

What I was missing was the manual step of confirming the payment from the test payee account. I didn't realize the online interaction was necessary and not scriptable. In hindsight this is obvious for security reasons ... unfortunately this will not work for my app.
