What with PayPal demanding street addresses for mailing checks and all, I just had to check and see what PayPal was doing on their side of the equation.

From the PayPal website "contact us" blurb:

PayPal
P.O. Box 50185
Palo Alto, CA 94303


Ain't that a kicker?

Let me save you some money on detective fees if you are looking for their number.

1. type x.com in your browser address block
2. hit enter
3. scroll to the bottom of the page and click on help.
4. scroll to the bottom of the help page.

I charge a minimum amount for this detective work, only $0.25 feel free to send my payment via BidPay.

Apparently PayPal is also known as Confinity Inc. Their web site is registered to:

Confinity, Inc
394 University Ave.
Palo Alto, CA 94301
US

If you type www.confinity.com into your browser you end right back at PayPal. Just a note... they didn't put a telephone number on file when they filed for the domain name.

The techical contact is a person listed at Netmeridian. I went to http://netmeridian.com/ and thought the web page was interesting. Give it a try. Apparently they don't have any functionality either.

Now, when you go to http://www.netmeridian.com/ you get a very basic page that says at the bottom:

important projects:

PositionAgent | ListBot | SecurePilot | DomainGames

Apparently PayPal was either not important enough or too embarrasing enough to list. By the way, the SecurePilot and DomainGames links aren't functional. I guess we now know why PayPal has problems.

There's very little on this page but my personal favorite is the line that says:

"Yes, we've moved to sunny California. It's much nicer out here"

Apparently, they must have rode the cash cow out there.

Interesting - I thought there was a requirement for a phone number for a domain name. I had to give one.
