    hi,

    I'm from India, and I really don't know about SSN( Social Security Number)...
    I would like to setup and a/c at PayPal sandbox. For SSN any number I enter it give me an error like...
    "The Social Security Number you entered cannot be validated"

    What should I enter there? what is the format for SSN?

    That is tax identity number in the USA. There is a link for PayPal Worldwide on the home page, I think that's your place for signing up.

    For the sandbox? You are being asked for an SSN at the sandbox?

    Odd. Never used it. I'd think just your account ID, no?

    I've already got developer a/c. In that I've created business and customer a/c. When I try to activate the Website Payment Pro facility in business a/c It ask me for SSN, and for that reason I'm not able to activate that things and so not able to test the things... got it?

    I understand. Any luck in the PP Dev Forums?

    When I was troubleshooting auto ack IPN subscription payments I got some great help in there.

    Never sandboxed during the trials though.
