Finaly after trying for weeks I found the solutuion.The four point in this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/ht_test-pps-buttons/ tutorial is wrong. You dont create a button like that for testing purpose but rather go to profile>selling tools>create new button . Probably it will be helpful for someone..

If you are trying to tested this with your test buyer accounts, your seller accounts also needs to be set up in the sandbox. The above code is pointing to the live site "www.paypal.com", if you are trying to use your test seller and buyer accounts, the URL needs to be "www.sandbox.paypal.com"
