Am I right?? rgds emmdee")* Hi, If you want to use the sandbox, you just need to configure your sandbox account (a buyer and a seller), set the seller account of your sandbox account in the paypal plugin options and change the URL in these options to use the sandbox URL: [ www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](http://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr) That's all there is to it. You don't need to enter any API information for that.

I think I would like to do a tutorial on how to get the Sandbox going, so others don't get as frustrated as I have been. On the other hand I am extremely impatient. So maybe ...just maybe the density is mine.
