Sending Funds to a Seller
To purchase goods or services, a PayPal user must send funds to a seller. In the PayPal
Sandbox, you can simulate the actions of a buyer by manually initiating the payment of funds.
You must use a Personal test account to represent the buyer.
To send funds from one test account to another:
1. Log in to
https://developer.paypal.com, click the Test Accounts tab, select a test account, and
click Enter Sandbox Test Site.
2. Navigate to the Send Money tab.
3. On the Send Money page, enter the email address (PayPal account name) for the test
account in Recipient’s Email box.
4. Enter the amount to send to the seller’s test account in the Amount box.
5. Select the currency for the funds in the Currency drop-down list. (Note: Auction is not an
option in the drop-down list.)
6. Select the reason for sending the funds in the Type drop-down list.
7. Enter text in the Subject box, if you want to. This text is the subject of the email sent to the
recipient about the transfer of funds.
8. Enter text in the Note memo box. This text appears in the body of the notification email.
9. Click Continue. This does not send the money; a confirmation step follows.
10.On the Check Payment Details page, review the transaction details for correctness. You
can click More Funding Options to change the source of fund used for payment.
11. Click Send Money. This triggers the actual transfer of funds.
12.Your Test Email tab contains all the email messages that are sent to the test account
sending the money and the test account receiving the money. See “Test Email” on page 12.
Log in as the seller test account and navigate to the My Account > Overview tab to see the
transaction for the recipient’s account.
