The Paypal test account is limited to transactions less than $1000. If you try to authorize a larger charge, Paypal / PayflowPro will return a DECLINED status, so you can confirm that declined transaction handling is working properly.

Another trick for credit cards
The pilot- sites will also refuse all non-test credit card numbers, so plugging in a real (or real-looking) credit card will fail.
Due to poor forgetting skills, I still remember the number from a credit card I used to have. I can use that to get a DECLINED on any site. No I won't share the number. :-)
