Paypal Chained Payment

Question

Is there any way that I can programmatically check to be sure a customer's account is confirmed and is ready to receive payments in paypal?

Donations via our website always fail due to unconfirmed email of our primary receiver. I am using Paypal's Adaptive Payment (Chained Payment).

Thank you.

There isn't specifically an API currently for confirming that a buyer account/email is confirmed. What some merchants use as a work around for checking this is use the same API call that you are making, with a failure inidicating that it is not confirmed.
