hi jason, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've changed the credentials to those from API, and it worked well for the 2 transactions i made in USD. However when i tried to change the currency to SGD (singapore dollars), i got another failure message.
I followed the instructions on this manual ps_changing_currency.pdf
However, i only did the first step since the symbol for SGD is also $. Maybe thats causing the problem?
Btw my default currency is set to sgd in paypal
