How to enable to enable live credentials for REST

I seem to be unable to enable Live credentials to accept direct credit card payments for Paypal REST API. Here is what I do:

Log into http://developer.paypal.com
Go to application tab and click on my application name
In the ACCEPT PAYMENTS section it shows: Accept credit cards directly Enabled for test only How to enable live credentials? I click on 'How to enable live credentials' link, which further opens up the following:
Important Live credentials are disabled for this feature. To enable direct credit card processing, please provide addition information about yourself and your business.
```
To meet regulatory requirements, we need to collect your business details. This may include:
U.S Business owner Social Security Number, date of birth, and other personal details.
U.S Business Tax ID (EIN, ITIN) and other business information.
```
Get started
I click on the 'Get Started' Link and am only taken back to the My APP section of the Application tab.

After step 4 I went to go about trying to find a direct link to how to get the process started and came up with the following:

Followed the the following instructions: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/

While I do now have API Signature Credentials including, API username, API password, and Signature, it still only shows that for "Accept credit cards directly" I am only "Enabled for test only"

I would greatly appreciate any advise or alternative solution to get this fixed.

Thanks!
