Validate an email is linked to a valid PayPal account

Question

Is there an ability to verify if the the user has a valid email address linked to the PayPal account and also if possible to check if this account has Grant API permission (toward my account) to process Refund API? Profile to refund is Payment profile is created through AdaptivePayment Pay API call.

I was wondering if this is possible through an API call?

Thanks

You can use PayPal GetVerifiedStatus API Operation will check for the verified status of the paypal account. You can also use Permissions API Operation to explicitly get/check the permissions granted for the specific PayPal account.
