Is Paypal Starting to Hide Email Addresses?

[samosa4u]

Whenever I would do business with someone through eBay, and pay him through Paypal, I could always see that person's email on the "transactions details" page. This meant that if we wanted to do business again in the future, we could do it directly through Paypal. Anyhow, today I logged into my Paypal account because I wanted to get someone's email (who I have dealt with in the past) and I realized that Paypal no longer has the email address listed. Instead, they just show me the person's name and eBay ID.

Has eBay told Paypal to stop listing people's emails?

As paypal is owned by ebay, it would not surprise me at all.

Click on individual payment within your PP account (which expands it) then click on "see details on classic site." Then you can see under buyer details the buyer's email address.

Paypal is no longer owned by ebay. A buyer's email address still shows up in the "transaction details" page for each payment on the paypal site. It is near the bottom of each page. The buyer's email address also shows up in the automated email I receive from paypal each time I receive a payment.
