Peter,

It seems to me like you can't really use an 
organization's name, though I may be wrong.  But in 
ordering from a few businesses, writing businesses, 
buying books, I have in the past had to send payments 
to personal PayPal e-mail addresses that the owners or 
operators of those businesses used as their PayPal 
signup e-mail.  So it might just be that in order to 
use an organizational e-mail address, you'll have to 
sign-up an organizational e-mail.  Meaning, if you get 
the domain, then setup an e-mail account for the 
address, for example, of payments at thedomain.com, you 
can then use that organizational e-mail address to 
sign-up an organization rather than a specific person, 
as the PayPal account holder.  Of course, this is just 
me theorizing.  Still, maybe that can help.


To Your Success!
