What about the "addressVerify" function? It verifies an email against a given address - and returns and error code if the email is not associated with a valid paypal account. Does your CFX tag support that function?

The paypal API has, aside from a "tell fortune" function (for certifice-less connection testing) and BillUser+ (both of which are still in private beta testing) the following functions: GetTransactionDetails, RefundTransaction, TransactionSearch and, most recently, MassPay. I don't see (off hand) how either GTD or RF would help you validate a paypal account. TS has a lot of options... so many I'd have to look to make sure first but I don't think it will help either. MassPay (as the name might suggest) allows you to pay 1-250 registered paypal accounts (the same dollar amount) at one time. I'd have to look and try it out, but ... perhaps you could sent a small amount (preferably $0.00) and it may give you back and error (it should anyway) if their account is not valid. I'll try it later after "the 5 people you met in heaven" is over. :) (I've written a java CFX called CFX_PayPalAPI I can test it against fairly easily.) > Mark A.
