Given an e-mail address, is there anyway to verify that they are a PayPal member?

I believe I once saw a way to do this. Also, is there a way of seeing what type of account they have? (Personal, Premier, Business, etc.)

If you send a Paypal Money Request than it will show their name if that are registered.

Initiate a send to that e-mail address, it will tell you what type of account they have.

Obviously don't complete it if you just want to know.

There isn't a URL I can complete with the e-mail address that will do this?

For example on eBay I can do:
http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=[b

to see info on that account. There isn't something like that with PayPal?

Thanks for the suggestions btw.
