Not getting a confirmation email in Paypal sandbox

Question

I have set up several buyer account in the sandbox and made purchases through my website. The purchases are "pending" because the test account email aren't confirmed through Paypal. I've gone to my test account Notifications but there doesn't seem to be a way to confirm these accounts. All I get are emails like this:

We're sending you a new PayPal payment card

Hello Paula Hatchling,

We're sending you a new PayPal payment card. We'll mail it to: 1 Main StSan Jose, CA 95131US When it arrives, you'll need to activate it: - Log in to PayPal and go to your Settings. - Click Payment preferences, then click Update under "In-store checkout." - Click Activate under "Payment card."

After that, you can use your PayPal payment card in participating retail stores to pay with your balance - or any bank account or credit card linked to your PayPal account.

Please don't reply to this email. It'll just confuse the computer that sent it and you won't get a response.

How can I confirm these accounts?

Thanks, Ann

Answer 1

Emails in the sandbox don't actually send to any real email address. They all get sent to the Notifications section of the account within your developer account.

Login to http://developer.paypal.com, go to your list of sandbox accounts, and find the little notifications link under each individual sandbox account. That is basically your inbox for that sandbox account.
