Ugh. My address is confirmed, I told you this.

What's important is if the words "confirmed address" are listed in the PP transaction.

"Confirmed paypal only" is part of my boilerplate in sales threads. Part of the "verified" status is a confirmed address. IE the address on file is known to have worked in the past and/or the account holder has proof that the address is theirs via confirmation. It's that simple.

Never move forward if a person doesn't have a confirmed address listed with PayPal. It's an obvious red flag. Never work with people who, for whatever reason, don't have accurate and up-to-date PP account info. PayPal will not take responsibility for any failures linked to inaccurate or out-of-date address info. It's in their policies.

So much . . . never. Here is mine:

Never base a decision to buy or sell with other members of this great community on just a single piece of information, especially the one being discussed here. Are you going to pass on a sale to someone with years on the forum and dozens of positive feedback just because it says unconfirmed next to their address? Yikes - a little communication goes a long way.

word!

I have verified paypal acc and confirmed adress on it, but since I live in Serbia all my purchases are shipped to US to a friend of mine. Most of the reselers won't shipp to my country so I had to find workaround.

problem is that when I pay, shippment adress is not same as my verified one which results in statement from paypal: "adress not confimed". Further more, adding new adress that is not in your country of origin is also not possible. vary same problem I had recently when I was purchasing from swissbianco website.

bottom line, if you as a seller receive payment as agreed, what kind of "protection" you need? "

Here's what PayPal says about shipping to an unconfirmed address:

"Most unconfirmed addresses are not fraudulent and sellers don’t usually experience problems shipping to them. When you do ship to an unconfirmed address, PayPal encourages you to be alert to your buyer and minimize risk by following our Protection Tips for Sellers."

The person that bought one on my knives had no shipping address on file, no seller protection. So i read the link ramzar posted, it was right on the paypal page, and this is what I did. I sent him an email to the one that is linked to his paypal account, asked him that this was him and he approved the payment and stated clearly what it was. Then I asked him to supply the address. Then when I mailed it I used restricted signature confirmation. Best I could think of to do.
