I thought I would share the lessons we learned from troubleshooting this plugin as I've seen many people in the support section have problems with getting submissions to appear in the dashboard results and also that there was no emails being sent out.

To start, testing in the sandbox:

To test your form in sandbox mode, make sure you have a sandbox account with Paypal, otherwise it will not log you in to complete the fake purchase. You can set this up here:http://developer.paypal.com/

PayPal Account Setup:

You need to make sure that you or your client's Paypal account is setup with email and bank account verified. If you don't, payments won't go through and since this plugin is programmed to only show records where payments are successful, you will not see the record show up. Records of transactions that have failed or where Paypal communication back to the server has failed is still stored in the database if you need to retrieve it, but there is code in this plugin that prevents these records from displaying. You will need to dig in to the files to comment that code out if you need these.

Server Configuration if on Windows:

We launched this site on a Windows server, since there is Curl programming to communicate with Paypal, you will need to have Curl configured to use authority certificate. In the packages/form_with_paypal_payment/blocks/form_with_paypal_payment/tools/ipn_listender.php file on line 43 you will see the comment in the code that explains this and where to get a cert.pem file to make this work.

After all of this we have gotten the plugin to work fine. Good luck out there!
