i use paypal php sdk with a sandbox account.

waiting your help :)

Answer 1

i call the support and the response was:

Funds received into Egyptian accounts need to be automatically withdrawn to an attached funding source, such as a bank. You can set this up by going into the account settings section of the account, then the "money, banks and cards" section and at the bottom of that page you'll find "automatic withdrawal" where you can specify a financial instrument to use for automatic withdrawals -- https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessmanage/account/money

thanks for u all :)
