通过 REST API 创建的发票导致 PayPal 后端出错

Question

去年我创建了一个示例应用程序，它可以使用 REST API 创建、发送和检查 PayPal 发票。一切都很顺利，发票出现在我的沙盒卖家后端，而且一切正常。

今天我使用完全相同的未修改应用程序来创建发票草稿。回复没问题，我什至可以 "send" 发票（除了没有人收到任何电子邮件......），我可以得到它的状态（例如 DRAFT 或 SENT） - 一切似乎都很好.

只有在卖家沙箱帐户的新型后端而不是草稿列表中，我收到一条错误消息，指出发生了错误，我应该重新加载页面（当然这根本没有帮助).当我删除上面创建的草稿时，一切又恢复正常，我可以看到去年的旧草稿。我创建了一个新草稿，但我又遇到了错误，等等。

同样的事情也发生在实时页面上，所以这似乎不是沙盒问题。

我将 NuGet 包用于 PayPal REST API 和其中的类。我现在发现我可以查看发送到 PayPal 的 JSON。请求看起来像这样（匿名了买家和卖家的电子邮件 - 所有其他字段均未更改，并使用去年相同的值）：

    }]
}

这里有什么问题？

PS：哦，我要说当然可以在网页上手动创建发票吗？

Answer 1

好的，通过回到最小发票，然后工作，我能够挑出日期值作为问题的根源。明明可以通过DateTime.MinValue，但是PayPal WebSite没有正确处理它。

为未使用的日期传递 null 而不是 DateTime.MinValue 可以解决此问题。应该注意的是，传递 DateTime.MinValue 曾经有效。

案件结案。
