It seems that you're saying that there's no way to do what I want. OK, thanks, but I'll clarify two points: > Create an email address just for paypal transactions. Yes, that's exactly what I have. I have an email address just for PayPal transactions. However, that same email is what allows me to login to PayPal. That's why I want to keep it secret for added security. > so the merchant can update you about the purchase I give my normal (non-PayPal) email address to the merchant on their order form. So they do have a way to contact me.
