how do i look up a paypal member

[2adroit]

Is there a way to look up a Paypal member based on their email address?

There are no official tools available for what you have in mind however, there is a trick that will work for verified Business Accounts.   You can use the code that is intended for displaying the PayPal Verified Seal.   You simply replace your email addrss with the one you want to look up.

If a website displays a PayPal Verified Seal, you can click on that link, login into PayPal and view the vendor's or seller's information. The information displayed is the vendor's email address, their status (verified) and the date the vendor's account was created.

How to find the Verified Seal Code, one method.
Assuming your PayPal Account is Verified.
Login to your PayPal Account.
In the Search Box, type in: Official PayPal Seal - PayPal and click on Search.
You should see a link to where you can get the necessary code.

In addition to what skier said, you can also check if their email address is PayPal Verified by using this link and put in their email address where it says EmailAddressHere:

https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal=EmailAddressHere

That's exactly what I said, I just did not post the actual code.  Assuming everyone could read between the lines, they should be able to figure out the line of code.

Thanks for posting that link! If you hadn't, I would have shipped my DSLR to nigeria and gotten nothing in return.
