Paypal sandbox error: Things doesn't appear to be working at the moment

I am trying to set up subscription based payment with the below code

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
    <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="https://example.com/subscribe/ipn">
    <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="TY3URFFH8DYDN">
    <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Everything works up until after buyer login. The resulting error: enter image description here

Make sure the receiving account has a confirmed email in the sandbox environment: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessmanage/account/accountOwner

The sandbox environment never sends "real" emails, so you don't need to check a real email inbox to get to the confirmation message. Instead, go to the developer "Notifications" tab. ("Log into dashboard" in its upper right, if you haven't already)

(If you haven't imported this particular www.sandbox.paypal.com account to your live developer.paypal.com login yet, do so first via https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Faccounts%2F -> log in to portal -> use first link on the page to authenticate with the sandbox account's credentials to link it.)
