    Then you'd better be ready for the worst. Your stubborness can cost you, as
    it has cost others.

    For all you know, PayPal's been secretly gathering "proof" about the domains
    you have and preparing to take legal action against you. Up to you if you feel
    like raising the stakes.

    Ok fair enough I will not do anything with the domain and if paypal want it they can have it, I have other domains that will work well for the same project. Thanks for all the advice

    Ibizuk,

    Just make sure that you don't try to sell the domain to them or to anyone else or you could be running afoul of the US Anticybersquatting provisions (15 USC 1125(d)).
