refund_status NO_API_ACCESS_TO_RECEIVER, paypal response

I'm using this gem for payments in my rails app:

https://github.com/jpablobr/active_paypal_adaptive_payment

I can not make a refund, I get the next message in response log:

...refund_status="NO_API_ACCESS_TO_RECEIVER">]> response_envelope=#<Hashie::Rash ack="Success"....

I am using the pay_key for make a refund.

Its possible fix this error?

Thank you so much!

I was having the exact same problem and my issue could not be resolved by the accepted solution. My problem was that I sent money from a merchant account to a seller account and was trying to refund the transaction, but there is (currently) no way to grant API permissions from a personal account to allow the refund transaction to go through. I just called Paypal, and they said that there's no way to complete the refund I was attempting to do, but since I only needed the refund for testing purposes (to make sure there was always money in my merchant account), they suggested that I instead just send an equal payment from my personal account back to my merchant account. I hope this helps someone.

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.
