RESULT Values for Communications Errors
A value for RESULT less than zero indicates that a communication error occurred. In this
case, no transaction is attempted.
A value of -1 or -2 usually indicates a configuration error caused by an incorrect URL or by
configuration issues with your firewall.
A value of -1 or -2 can also be possible if the PayPal servers are unavailable, or an incorrect
server/socket pair has been specified. A value of -1 can also result when there are internet
connectivity errors. Contact customer support regarding any other errors.
