I have a website (in development) which is using paypal (sandbox) to accept payments. I've setup a few sandbox users so I can test what happens when payments are send from my country and some foreign countries.
I've noticed that when setting up users with certain foreign countries, after making a payment, the foreign sandbox account gets a message saying "you're payment will arrive in 3-5 days". But the payment happens instantly in the sandbox account.
Why is that, is that just a sandbox thing? What I am asking is, when I go live, and if the user gets such a message, and if it does take 3-5 days for the payment to arrive, will paypal push the payment through to my ipn page as and when the payment happens, i.e. 3-5 days later?
I'm assuming that because I am using the paypal sandbox, they just display the 3-5 day message and push the details to my ipn page straight away?
