Those are the error statuses down in paypal/__init__.py with those numbers 579024.

If the pre auth fails, paypal barfs. If you look down in get_paykey, it tries once if the error is a pre auth error, it tries again with pre auth. If that fails it raises and error which gets handled on the front end.
