    I notice that when I submit my site to a paid directory the email from pay pal does not correspond with the website, should I be worried. I know to google info:website.com to check it is not selling fake PR but what about the email.

    Well... The company owning the directory might have more than one directories and they might be using one paypal email address for all their directories. :)

    there are free directories you can send your site why submit it already in paid directories? try to submit your site in dmoz. next time make sure the email correspond with the website.

    Exactly. In this case this guy is using a hotmail email address for his paypal !! I would advice you to use discretion when posting someone's email address on a public forum like this :)

    Similarly i (as a directory owner) see paypal accounts that dont match the owner, but in some cases i guess they are representing a company.

    You can have no more than 2 paypal accounts legally, so the best you can do as a directory owner is not use a paypal email that will confuse anyone.

    I use my ISP email.

    sarkin, do us a favor and edit your earlier post and remove that email address. Directory owners paypal email address's get added to enough spam lists as it is without them being publicly linked on a forum.

    Think about it, how would you like it if someone published your paypal email on a public forum as popular as this?

    I think a lot of people have different paypal emails then their sites address as they probably use it for different things.

    From a directory owner experience... I too use my personal paypal email address for all my directories. Its not a real biggie actually so long as it is not offensive or way out of the norm I guess.
