10207 "Retry."

To solve this, try adding some alternate funding source.

10486 "This transaction couldn't be completed."

Check requisites of your funding source (billing address, limits, etc.) or add proper one. If still getting this code, contact PayPal customer support:

10417 "Transaction cannot complete."

This error code is very common.
For some reason PayPal can't process the transaction from your funding source. In most cases this can be a problem with your bank card. Please contact your card issuer, PayPal support, choose alternate funding source or completely different payment method for our invoice.

We can set any proper payment method for the invoice per your request.

10527 "Invalid Data."

Check your bank card information (number and type) used in funding source settings. If no errors found, please contact PayPal customer support.

11451 "Billing Agreement Id or transaction Id is not valid."

This is common error as well.
This happens due to some errors in existing billing agreement. Cancel the agreement and create new one in your RSB customer profile to mitigate this issue.

15005, 15006 "Processor Decline."

Another bank-related trouble. Please address this to your card issuing bank or use alternate card to make a payment.

The error codes described above don't conclude the list of known PayPal issues. Some cases may require further investigation so never give up on finding solution and sharing your thoughts with RSB support personnel.
