Hi Vishnu - would you mind sending me an email at praveen_at_x_dot_com with more details ? I wonder if there is some misunderstanding with the accounts - hope I can clarify better in an email.

cheers,
Praveen

correct that was the desired behavior as per the implementation. (To login with PayPal account, and then import old developer account data).

What I was trying to help Mirko is with his digital goods setup.

Just to clarify - you can still test the new APIs in our sandbox (doesn't matter which country you are in). But you cannot go live unless you are a US business.

To test the new APIs, you can just login with your PayPal account created from the PayPal.com site corresponding to your country. After you login, you would see your test credentials that you can play with in the sandbox environment.

alright I've enabled digital goods on your test business account "w4c_merchand@mazatech.com" - let me know if that works.

Hi Mirko - when you import your accounts, you need to provide the id/pwd of the old developer.paypal.com site - not the test business/personal accounts. Just wanted to make sure you are not doing that.

The second error with Digital Goods is interesting. Let me check on that. Assuming you are using"w4c_merchand@mazatech.com" as your merchant account for that.

:-) oops didn't mean to ignore - it's just that the other issues appeared to be related to the big issue w/ cookies that we were trying to resolve. Do you mind sending me little more details ? here is my email praveen_at_x_dot_com

hi Garlon - looks like the fix won't go out until the 19th due to some other dependencies. Can you send me your test account in sandbox for which you want to update the auto-return handler ? I can try getting it updated for you. You can send me an email w/ info - praveen_at_x_dot_com

Hi Piyush, sorry for the troubles. We have a fix for this but it won't live until tomorrow. Mean while - can you please try this:

- delete all cookies in your browser and restart (please note IE doesn't always delete your cookies - so if possible use FF or Chrome)
- Login to developer.paypal.com
- then goto sandbox.paypal.com and try to login with a test account that's associated with your developer.paypal.com account.

That should get you going. There is yet another issue where when you go to your Profile->Selling Tools, you will see the same error. We found the root cause for that too and the fix is in the way.

Hope that helps - let me know if you are still not able to login.

Sorry for the troubles - it's always a difficult job trying to change something that has been there for over 10 years.

Hi Garlon - I was able to reproduce the error. Filing the bug and getting our teams look into it ASAP. Sorry for the troubles.

Hi Garlon, can you try in a different browser where you have never logged into developer.paypal.com or sandbox.paypal.com ? Or if you can just clear your cookies completely (in FF & Chrome this is easy but not in some versions of IE) and try to login to developer.paypal.com first and then sandbox.paypal.com with one of the test accounts associated with your developer.paypal.com account (imported) ?

not sure if you know but Pamela Fox has done a great analysis and even surveyed developers about best developer documentation: http://blog.pamelafox.org/2...

definitely worth looking at - at least it helped us quite a bit to educate our writers and engrs about how we need to model our docs.

this doesn't seem to provide mobile friendly UI - is that supported ? would love to use it for our conference that's coming up soon. Thanks!

Great post - just one correction - you must have meant Amazon EC2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... for hosting needs - Amazon S3 is for data storage (which is what Jungledisk uses).
