The company does not receive emails from Yahoo or Hotmail because of AntiSpam software, but would they still accept/receive a Paypal payment?
Or, would I have to create a whole new non-Yahoo paypal account or email address??
How does paypal payments work? Is the email address not a factor?
(In short, I have a yahoo Paypal email address and am wondering if I send a payment to a company who blocks yahoo mails, if they will receive the payment)
Thank you, I really need help!!

The company will receive your payment... they may not receive the PayPal payment notification email message.

If you decide to use a non-Yahoo email address, you can add the email address to your existing PayPal account and make it your primary PayPal email address. A PayPal account can have up to 8 email addresses linked to it... you don't need to create a new non-Yahoo PayPal account.

The company will receive notification because the email comes from Paypal, not Yahoo.
It's sent on behalf of the Yahoo address, but the spam filters won't pick up on that.
