Permission error when calling DoDirectPayment - PayPal

I am attempting to use PayPal's DoDirectPayment API call, we have bought PayPal Pro and created a sandbox account for testing. I am passing the following to the call (using our sandbox authentication):

array(
        "USERNAME"      => "OUR USERNAME",
        "PWD"           => "OUR PASSWORD",
        "SIGNATURE"     => "OUR SIGNATURE",
        "METHOD"        => "DoDirectPayment",
        "PAYMENTACTION" => "SALE",
        "CURRENCYCODE"  => "GBP"
        "METHOD"        => "DoDirectPayment",
        "IPADDRESS"     => $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'],
        "AMT"           => "10.00",
        "DESC"          => "Desc"
        ...

Amongst the other key/value pairs for the debit card information.

After submitting I get the following result.

    TIMESTAMP=2015-0713T10:06:57Z
    &CORRELATIONID=845382b8571ae
    &ACK=Failure
    &VERSION=0.000000
    &BUILD=17370573
    &L_ERRORCODE0=10002
    &L_SHORTMESSAGE0=Authentication/Authorization Failed
    &L_LONGMESSAGE0=You do not have permissions to make this API call
    &L_SEVERITYCODE0=Error

Other people have spoken about this error but they all seem to be for different things. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be enabled for DoDirectPayment I can't seem to find it anywhere if so, or am I maybe missing some info that needs to be passed to PayPal?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

When using the Sandbox credentials and getting this error, it is usually that you just need to upgrade your Sandbox seller account to Pro. When you go into your Sandbox and click on the seller email, in the profile you will see an option to upgrade to Pro and that will resolve the error.
