Hello @Devilrose75
Welcome and thanks for posting your question in the PayPal Help Community!
I am happy to help you with your inquiry here! The option to precheck a Gmail address is not available in PayPal. However, if there's any issue with the purchase, PayPal purchase protection policy covers the payment and helps you to get refund if certain requirements are met. To learn more about PayPal Buyer Protection and to see a full list of eligibility requirements and exclusions, please review our User Agreement. You can find the User Agreement by clicking Legal at the bottom of any PayPal page.
Hope this information helps,
Bindu
