> When you paid with your card they knew your identity.

Who's the "they" in that sentence? As it stands, a certificate reseller knows that the Paypal account "[email protected]" paid for a SSL certificate for "www.unrelatedcompany.TLD"

The certificate itself tells you nothing about who paid for it - it doesn't even tell you which email account was used to confirm some level of association with the unrelatedcompany.TLD domain.
