Can't see selling preferences in Paypal sandbox for IPN

I set up a developer account at developer.sandbox.com and created business and personal accounts there. But I can't figure out where to set up the IPN. It's supposed to be under the profile menu but I don't think I get the correct menu structure in the sandbox.

Here's what it looks like when I log in to the sandbox (https://developer.paypal.com/cgi-bin/devscr?cmd=_logout):

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Paypal and their documentation. I usually can't find anything when I search. :)

Here's the solution from http://developer.paypal-portal.com/pdn/ ... 52#U150752:
In that picture, on the left there is a menu, if you click on Test Accounts, you will see an view of your test accounts. Here you choose the seller account, then you click on a orange colored button, with the text "Enter Sandbox Test Site".

Then you login as the seller into sandbox. Here you go into Profile and configure IPN etc...
