This is in an MVC2 project, so I'm using C# in ASP. This is what I'm sending to https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp:
VERSION = 65.0
SIGNATURE = AFcWxV21C7fd0v3bYYYRCpSSRl31AxdW2pQp.tWHTjGNcHflR-LJhJ0t
USER = seller_1283487740_biz_api1.gmail.com
PWD = 1283487748
AMOUNT = 50.00
CREDITCARDTYPE = Visa
ACCT = 4031477440127509
EXPDATE = 12/2015
CVV2 =123
IPADDRESS = 127.0.0.1
METHOD = DoDirectPayment
I can GetBalance, I can produce other errors when I intentionally send something wrong, but DoDirectPayment or DoAuthorization returns this:
TIMESTAMP = 2010-12-24T03:35:10Z
CORRELATIONID = 2ca329fdbe3c0
ACK = Failure
L_ERRORCODE0 = 10001
L_SHORTMESSAGE0 = Internal Error
L_LONGMESSAGE0 = Timeout processing request
Why Am I getting this error?

The PayPal sandbox mirrors the features on the PayPal production servers. While some PayPal features do not apply to the sandbox, such as closing an account, issuing monthly statements, storing shipping preferences, and PayPal Shops support, the sandbox has the same PayPal API feature set as the live environment.
Go to the developer.paypal.com home page. Log into the Dashboard if you are not already and click the pull-down menu beneath your name to select Dashboard . Under the Sandbox heading in the left navigation column, click on Accounts . Locate the sandbox account for which you wish to enable negative testing.
Log in to the Developer Dashboard and navigate to the Sandbox>>Accounts page. In the Manage Accounts column, click the icon associated with the account you want to manage. Click Delete.
Go to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com, and logging into the account with the sandbox account's email address and password.
Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. I tested my code on their production URL and it worked just fine.
Given how much they are focused on developers, it's amazing how horrible their API is. I can get points and follow other people on their little social network, x.com, but I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE API IS!?!
