The simplest way is to put the Match formula next to your list of all members. Use the column right next to the all list.
=MATCH(Lookup_Value,Lookup_array,[Match_Type])
As your lookup value, use your member from the All Members list. As your Lookup array, use the paid list. The result will be a number of the row in your lookup array, anything with a #N/A will not have paid. Copy down the whole All member list. Make sure that if you do this, your Lookup_array is absolute valued by either shooseing the entire column, or using dollar signs. (E:E or $E:$E) as in my example below.

The resulsts will have an #N/A nest to those who havnt paid. You can then make it more fancy my using an IF(ISERROR formula which you can tell Excel to tell you if someone has paid or not...see below.
IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B4,E:E,0)),"Not Paid","Paid")

B C D E
All List Paid List
4 Member 1 Not Paid Member 3
5 Member 2 Not Paid Member 6
6 Member 3 Paid Member 9
7 Member 4 Not Paid
8 Member 5 Not Paid
9 Member 6 Paid
10 Member 7 Not Paid
11 Member 8 Not Paid
12 Member 9 Paid
13 Member 10Not Paid
