PayPal SOAP API Error 13606 When trying to call Refund API method with Payer ID and amount

When I try to call RefundTransaction API method usiong PayerID i get Error "13606 Feature Not Enabled. You are not enabled for this feature.".

What it does mean? Is there a way to enable it?

To reproduce you can go to https://devtools-paypal.com/apiexplorer/PayPalAPIs and try to execute RefundTransaction method with PayerID and Amount filled in.

Direct from PayPal Support:

TransactionID and PayerID are marked "conditional", but you couldn't set blank.

For example, A buyer purchased several items in different period , but if you call RefundTransaciton API only set PayerID, PayPal couldn't judge in which transaction to refund, and also could not refund the amount about all of these items.

PayPal is not allowed this case happen.

So at least you have to set the transaction ID while calling the refund API.

So the solution is to always specify TransactionID.

Yes, their own API Documentation says: "Either the transaction ID or the payer ID must be specified." But apparently this is not the case.

If you don't log subscr_payment IPN calls, you can look up TransactionID from a PayerID by using the TransactionSearch API request. Put your PayerID in the ProfileID search field.
