Issue in PayPal live transaction if PayPal Balance is $0.00

I am developing an native app for iOS 7.x having integrated PayPal iOS SDK. I am facing an issue related to live transaction via PayPal.

My PayPal account balance is $0.00 currently. My paypal account is linked to a valid credit card. I have transferred few dollar to PayPal, but the state is "Pending"

Now, I am trying to use my PayPal "Email credentials" to perform a live transaction. However, it throws me following error: 

PayPal SDK: Request has failed with error: UNKNOWN_ERROR - System error (UNKNOWN_ERROR). Please try again later. (400) | PayPal Debug-ID: 3e8087cbf6bd1 [live, PayPal iOS SDK 2.1.2]

  1. What can be the possible reason of this error?

  2. Also is it possible to do a successful transaction when PayPal amout = $0.00, though it is linked to a valid credit card ?

Please help.

Solution

  • It seems like the PayPal email address is not confirmed on your account . Can you do one thing here : Try to add a new email address in your PayPal account and then confirm it once and then try to perform the transaction once .
