It looks like PayPal was purblind on this. After I create a test account with a credit card, PayPal provide everything but not CVV for a card. So it is not possible to test credit card payments, because PayPal requires CVV when payment is conducted with a credit card.

How may I get CVV?

You can use any CVV code on Sanbox credit cards :) So just type in something like 997 and you're good to go. It also stands true for expiry date, just set some date in the future.
