Well the question did say "If email is sent to the address you use to login to PayPal, will you see it promptly" I do have a paypal-only email address but it does get routed to my primary account. During waking hours I'll probably see an email sent there within the hour. So I guess that means "yes"

The poll question would have been clearer as a tristate



Yeah, sorry for the somewhat nebulous nature of the question. having direct access only to my own brain, it's now abundantly clear that it's quite easy to fall into the trap of assuming that everyone uses email accounts in a similar way to one's self and will classify them the same way too.

But you got it right based off cperciva's suggested addition, if you're in a situation where your PayPal email address forwards to an address that you do pay attention to or the like, then that would be a "yes".
