After a surf from utter basics, I have found the answer. The PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION paramater value should be url encoded before sent. 

"PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION='".urlencode("Sale")

It is because the email address PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID [email protected] is not confirmed. Try to confirm the email address and execute the API call again.
