On the test accounts that you setup in paypal sandbox, are these full blown setups with link to credit card or bank account or just accounts with email addresses for testing?
Thanks.
only the main address is real email address. All other address is fake address.
You will have to check all email at your main sanbox account. No emails will really be sent out.
All bank info and credit card info should use fake ones.
