Rails: validate PayPal email?

I'm trying to verify that a seller's email is valid with PayPal.

Is there any way to verify JUST a user's PayPal email? I've been having a really hard time finding an answer to this.

First, I found this, which is useful but seems to require a user's first and last name as well as an email address. I've also found this, but this also seems to require extra info.

Isn't there any simple way to check just email? I mean, if you can pay straight to a user's email without any extra info, shouldn't you be able to check if that email is valid?

It seems the only way to do this is to request extra permissions, and use GetVerifiedStatus from the PayPal API.
