Well if the transaction goes through then they have a paypal account, if the funds show in your paypal balance then they have a paypal account.

Not sure what else you mean.

Thank you, but I think I have written the question in a confusing way.
What I meant was that we have been paid for a subscription, but are suspicious that the payee is using a false name and address. As we are a professional membership body, it is important to be able to verify the payee's credentials.  Is there any way of checking if their account name with Pay Pal is genuine or false. We do know that the person is not on the electoral roll at the address given
