How can I check on a seller and there good standing with PayPal?  The web site says PayPal certified. The site doesn't show Paypal as a payment option. The seller emailed me back and states she takes PayPal directly.

The seller doesn't have PayPal integrated into their site and is not required to but can accept it directly via money request or invoice if they have a PayPal account. Why the seller choose to do that, could be for a number of reasons or factors. I suggest to research for any reviews on the site before proceeding though.

There use to be a way to see if someone is verified or not but it's been done away with and relegated to using PayPal marketing solutions from the PayPal logo center therefore the only way is to call PayPal customer service and ask.

Contact customer service for assistance:

Click HELP at the top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US.

Call early, during business hours, west coast time to try to get a US rep. Say "Live Agent" to the automated recording.
