Yeahh I have 2 seller account and 1 buyer account.

1 seller account for our app as merchant.
1 seller account for the service seller.
1 buyer account for the buyer.

I use the app_key for refund, this is my request:

 def refund
    .
    .
    gateway =  ADAPTIVEPAYMENT_GATEWAY
    pay_key = order.payment.pay_key # this **pay_key** is previously obtained on payment successfully.
    response = gateway.refund(:pay_key => pay_key, :requestEnvelope => {"errorLanguage" => "en_US"})
    logger.info response.inspect
    .
    .
    .
   end

This is response log:

Ok the problem was, For a receiver to grant permission to refund to the API Caller:

Login to www.paypal.com (For Sandbox: www.sandbox.paypal.com - Make sure you are already signed in https://developer.paypal.com) and login with the receiver account. Goto Profile -> API Access -> Grant API Permission -> Input the API Caller (Example: May6_1307031077_biz_api1.paypal.com) in Third Party Permission Username textbos and click Lookup button -> Enable checkbox for "Issue a refund for a specific transaction" and click Add button.

This is how receiver can grant permission to API Caller.

Once this is enabled, the refund should work.

Founded in https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/adaptive-payments-api/adaptive-refund-notprocessed

But then The refund feature depend from seller if have this feature enabled on his paypal account... This is a big problem because the merchant can not make a refund if the seller has this feature disabled...

For fix this problem you can Granting API Permissions via the API

You can see on https://www.x.com/devzone/articles/paypal-permissions-and-advantages-integrating-permissions-api

you can try it with gem https://github.com/moshbit/paypal_permissions

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I am having the same issue as you were having but I couldn't figure out how to get the refund to work with sandbox accounts. When I issue a general refund when I don't specify the sender the order get's refunded by both secondary receivers, but when I specify one of the original secondary receivers to issue the refund I get "'NO_API_ACCESS_TO_RECEIVER"
I tried using the Grant API Permissions form as you suggested but the issue is I don't know what username to enter as I am testing with accounts created by my sandbox developer paypal form and I only have email addresses there but the grant permissions for Lookup returns "Please enter valid API username."

Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
