How to validate PayPal account?

Question

I want to integrate paypal to my website and ask users to enter paypal account for commission pay out. How can I check if their account exists on paypal? I prefer NOT to sen

Answer 1

you can ask them to enter the email address they use in paypal. and if they dont have an account on paypal, you can still send them funds to any email they enter. Paypal will take care of getting them to create an paypal account with that email id and show them their funds.

all you may have to ensure is that they enter the correct email id.. maybe an email address verification step could do the trick.
