Answer 1

After giving permission same issue exists. Then I found I missed an argument..

I'm sending this request.

$nvpreq = array(
    'USER' => '',
    'PWD' => '',
    'SIGNATURE' => '',
    'METHOD'=> 'RefundTransaction',
    'VERSION' => urlencode('94'),
    'TRANSACTIONID' => 'xxxxxxxx',
    'REFUNDTYPE' => 'Partial',
    'AMT' => '0.01',
    'CURRENCYCODE' => 'USD');

I forgot to add 'SUBJECT' => '[email protected]',. Now it is working.

Answer 2

Here is the some causes of this error.

1. You used the wrong transaction ID.

2. You're trying to make the call for a third party and have the wrong email address in the subject.

3. The subject account hasn't given you permission to make the third-party call.
