 * Hi, I have set up a credit card form and the sandbox was working but now when
   I test it I get the error message (in the credit card field): Error posting eWAY
   request: 403, Forbidden.
 * Does the sandbox have a limit on how many test you can do, or have I changed 
   something to break the sandbox?
 * Thanks for your help.
    Mike.

 * G’day Mike,
 * No limits as far as I know, so most likely you’ve changed something.
 * The error you’re getting usually means that either you aren’t sending any API
   key/password credentials, or you’re sending the wrong ones.
 * Do you still have your settings on Use Sandbox?
 * Do you have the correct API key/password credentials for Sandbox Settings?
 * cheers,
    Ross

 * Hi Ross,
 * Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it looks like I broke it.
 * I have the Use Sandbox setting on “Yes”
 * I have the correct API settings for the Live Settings and I have the Sandbox 
   Settings blank (I didn’t think I needed anything in there).
 * Forgive my knowledge on Sandbox, but do I need to get a separate Sandbox API 
   in my eWay account?
 * Thanks,
    Mike.

 * Yup, you need to create a Sandbox account. I probably should add some doco with
   links to eWAY’s doco for that sometime 🙂
 * cheers,
