Paypal gateway returns error for Magento store

I have set up Paypal Payments Pro on Magento 1.7.0.2, but when I try to place an order, Paypal returns an error:

[response] => Array
        (
            [TIMESTAMP] => 2014-05-05T15:52:41Z
            [CORRELATIONID] => 310e857075603
            [ACK] => Failure
            [VERSION] => 72.0
            [BUILD] => 10850615
            [L_ERRORCODE0] => 10002
            [L_SHORTMESSAGE0] => Security error
            [L_LONGMESSAGE0] => Security header is not valid
            [L_SEVERITYCODE0] => Error
        )

I have checked my credentials here, and they are returning a success. https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp?&user=xxxxxxxxxx&pwd=xxxxxxxxxx&signature=xxxxxxxxxx&version=70.0&METHOD=SetExpressCheckout&RETURNURL=http://www.paypal.com/test.php&CANCELURL=http://www.paypal.com/test.php&PAYMENTACTION=Sale&AMT=50&CURRENCYCODE=USD

Any ideas about what could cause this security header issue?

generally this error means you are not using the correct API credentials. If you are convinced your credentials are correct then take a look at your endpoint. Sandbox credentials will not be valid in the production environment and live credentials will produce this error in the sandbox
