If you are taking payments directly from your site then yes.. if you are using an intermediary like cart manager then most likely not.

Just to clarify, you are referring to "directly" as using PayPal's buttons, right?

Or a shopping cart on your site, yes PayPal can see this.

But if you use something like Cart Manager which redirects customers, or E-junkie, etc.. PayPal can only see these sites.
