The PayPal API Error Codes are admittedly not very helpful.

Error code 13113, or "The Buyer cannot pay with PayPal for this Transaction" means that PayPal has taken a security measure by refusing to process the transaction. This can happen for one of the following reasons (there are more, but here are a few):

• The buyer does not have enough money in their account
• The buyer does not have enough money in their account, and there is a problem charging their credit card (if they have that set in their settings)
• The buyer has asked for a refund on another item from the seller, and PayPal has therefore blocked the buyer's account from transferring money to the seller until the situation has been resolved.
• The buyer is suspected of fraudulent activity, so there is a freeze on their accounts.
• The buyer's account is restricted to sending money to the specific seller for some other reason
• The buyer's account is entirely frozen for some specific reason

Unfortunately, there isn't much anyone can tell you without thoroughly looking through your code. I would check my code and make sure all appropriate flags and what-not are set. If you wait a few hours and are still getting the error (especially on multiple/new accounts), then you will need to contact PayPal.

I know it sucks, but only PayPal will be able to tell you why exactly the transaction is failing.
