The Justice Department has asked PayPal, the electronic funds payment arm of eBay (EBAY), to turn over some customer records as part of an ongoing tax evasion probe, a top tax official said Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge James Ware in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued a “John Doe” summons to San Jose, Calif.-based PayPal for the records in February.
