  Prove it!

  Did that already.  Sent it to this forum as well.  Copied it four times
now to this forum.  Perhaps you missed it again?  In any event
Pay Pal is NOT a valid form of verifying any person, credit card
account accurately, or Bank account accurately either, and by
their own admission.
See: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/verification-faq-outside

In particular: " Please note that PayPal's verification system does not
constitute an endorsement of a member, nor a guarantee of a member's
business practices."

So your point is?
