Why did I get result code 125?

The transaction(s) failed to pass one or more fraud filters currently deployed to active within your PayPal Manager account.

Here's how to review your current active fraud filters: 

  1. Log in to your PayPal Manager account
  2. Click Service Settings. 
  3. Click Live Setup
  4. Click Edit Standard Filters
  5. Select the filters you want to modify and change the Filter Action from Reject to Review. (If you no longer want the filter deployed, deselect the check box under ON/OFF next to the filter).
  6. Click Deploy
  7. Click Deploy Active Mode to implement your changes. 

Any changes to your filter settings may take up to one hour to take effect.

After you change the filter action from Reject to Review, transactions that fail a filter will generate result code 126, "Under review by Fraud Service". For details, see Why did I get Result Code 126?
