Answer 1

The integration you are attempting to use (v1/payments for direct cards) is very old and no longer supported by PayPal for new integrations. Your account does not have permission to use it, and will not be given permission, hence "Payee Account Invalid" since it cannot be used with that account.

Use a current standard checkout or advanced integration instead.
