Paypal error - getTransactionFee method does not exist

I have a custom website with a custom shopping cart built in. I am using the Paypal API Standard Payments method to send the shopping cart information over to Paypal & then returning on a return URL to my order_process.php page. Once it returns to my website, the code updates information in our database to sign members up for events, give them a membership etc.

Everything was working fine until Paypal flagged our account due to the high increase in payments coming in within a short period of time.

I spoke with a supervisor over at Paypal & they lifted the flag from our account.

We did not change anything on our end but now the site is not working properly anymore. It sends the information over to Paypal, takes the payment successfully & comes back to our site.

Once it gets to the line in code

$result = execute_payment($_SESSION["payment_id"], $_GET["PayerID"]);

It crashes with an error: "Method PayPal\Api\Sale::getTransactionFee() does not exist"

I've spoken to Paypal numerous times and they keep saying they will call me back with no return phone calls. I've extensively Googled this error and cannot find anything on this topic. I'm at a lost of what to try next and this is causing a lot of disruption because we are processing a high amount of transactions. I switched the site over to a development domain and tried on Sandbox mode and am still receiving the same error message.

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Our site has just started displaying this behaviour too, I don't understand what is going on. It was working perfectly this time last week.

Maybe there is a new version of the PayPal PHP SDK I need to download!?!?

Help!

-- UPDATE: found this on the PHP SDK wiki: "Seeing this error: 'Method PayPal\Api\Sale::getTransactionFee() does not exist' in paypal/vendor/paypal/rest-api-sdk-php/lib/PayPal/Common/PPReflectionUtil.php:73, Please upgrade the SDK to latest version v1.2.1."

See https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/wiki

I've downloaded the new SDK and am integrating it now. Will update when done ...

-- Another Update: Updated our test site to use version 1.2.1 of PHP SDK, and everything works fine against the sandbox. Not sure which language/SDK you're using, but might be worth an update?

I just spoke with an engineer over at Paypal. Apparently they updated some of their code and are aware of this issue. They are currently working on a fix to the problem.
