Response from PayPal Can you help me with it

Here is the responce:

Dear Gary,
thank you for contacting PayPal Merchant Technical Service.

I've just tested your store on store.ontrackjobsearch.com/ to see if i am able to log in with my sandbox account. As you can see on the screenshot, your store is pointing to our live environment www.paypal.com , where the sandbox credentials doesn't exist and that's why you are unable to log in.

To resolve this issue you will need to set up your store to a testmode, where it is pointing to www.sandbox.paypal.com . In order that you are using a third party cart(Powershop), you will need to contact them how you can change this setting. Anyway, i googled a little Bit and found this tutorial:

paypal_sandbox.php

In this tutorial it says:

Enter the PowerStore 3 Admin panel, choose Settings > Payment Information. Uncheck the Use Sandbox checkbox and enter your PayPal account details instead of the Sandbox test accounts details.

I would suggest to follow these steps the other way around. check the Use Sandbox checkbox and enter your PayPal Sandbox account details . Once your shop is in Testmode, you can log in with the sandbox accounts.

***
would be very helpful if we could have a video instruction on how to use the sand box since the paypal instruction is not very good
****

Unfortunately we don't have a video with instructions, i am sorry. The only things i can provide you are these two user guides, i hope they help:

I hope this was helpful and if you have further Questions on this or another problem,please let me know.

With kind regards

Thanks Gary
