I'm attempting to move from authorize.net (which was working) to
Website Payments Pro - consolidating our merchant accounts to Paypal.
The configuration/verification was different, for example, ip was no
longer optional - and a buyer address is required.
Once I got that sorted out(after receiving appropriate error messages
to push me along), I'm now getting "The connection to the remote
server timed out" (both on my localhost and my production server -
public to the web, not behind a router) - without additional debugging
info that I can find :)
For authorization - I'm using the signature - not the certificate,
supplied by the sandbox in the seller accounts profile.
I'm hoping maybe those are no longer valid? Interestingly, I was, I
thought, getting some communication from Paypal in the verification
process - but perhaps that was local - caught in pre-processing before
hitting Paypal?
I'm using SSL - and have it installed in prod. Unfortunately, the cert
is not proper - that is, the domain.com is secured - but I'm using
beta.domain.com - until I can move into prod. Hopefully I dont have to
un-install SSL to test this? This was working with Authorize.net
before :(

API Endpoints
The API Endpoints for your API calls depend on which authentication
mechanism you use and which calling mechanism you use. The table below
summarizes all of the endpoints.
Environment Authentication Calling Endpoint
-------
1) some of the transactions made it to Paypal - I can see them in the
Seller transactions, just did not make it back - or my server timed
out before it could?
I think the issue may be that the PayPal sandbox is incredibly flaky right now. On average transactions have been taking 40+ seconds for me lately. I've also noticed a lot of people complaining the PayPal forums.

Just got off the phone w/tech support person, who was darn near
helpful :) "It's a timeout issue - it'll be fixed within 6 months",
lol.
I can understand that happening now and then but I've yet to get ONE
transaction to work. So I've got to up my timeout time for the
request. Is that an option in AM per request or should I do that ...
somewhere else?

I had success by running only a single transaction at a time. They each take 40 - 50 seconds, but eventually are successful and timeout less frequently than trying to run the entire suite at once.

I've been off and on with Tech support over there - highly recommend
avoiding that!
I'm on my localhost - behind a router (linksys/residential) you think
that would matter ?- the same thing happened when I moved it to my
prod server so I doubt it. I'm running on port 3000. Thanks Cody.
