    There are many possible reasons for a compliance violation.

    If you were to receive this error in the live environment, you may need to add an auto withdrawal method to the account (such as a bank account or local Visa card that supports withdrawals), among other possible reasons. You would have to contact PayPal for further support in identifying the reason for the violation.

    Since your question is for the sandbox environment, simply try your testing with a receiver Business account from a different country, for example US or UK. Create one at https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Faccounts%2F , and then an app with a ClientID/Secret for it at https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications

    Try to create new sandbox business account and use it’s credentials (cliend_id, secret) instead of default sandbox business account credentials.
