Paypal unconfirmed address advice......, by banksman on Nov 14, 2007 13:35:23 GMT 1, Hello there, I have recently sold a print to a guy in Hong Kong for £500.00....
He has paid via paypal but he has an unconfirmed address, and due to previously getting my fingers burnt last year when a sent an item to an unconfirmed address (even though I had a tracking number that proved he signed for it he said he hadn't recieved it and got a £800.00 refund from PAYPAL) I can't risk it again.....
Any help on what I can do???

whats wrong with giving your bank details? to transfer money they only need your sort code, account number, bank name, and your name. they cant do much with that except put money in your account. its perfectly safe.

Paypal unconfirmed address advice......, by Gentle Mental on Nov 14, 2007 16:58:31 GMT 1, here's what i just found from paypal:
" Effective October 10, 2003, addresses provided by U.K. and Canadian buyers may notice a status of Confirmed on their PayPal accounts. A Confirmed Address is a PayPal member's credit card billing address. Because not all credit card companies are currently able to confirm addresses, only some U.K. and Canadian addresses can be confirmed at this time.
Sellers can use the presence of a Confirmed Address as an additional risk management tool when considering transactions where Seller Protection Policy may be unavailable. All addresses for PayPal members outside the U.S., U.K. and Canada will continue to show a status of Unconfirmed.

Paypal unconfirmed address advice......, by Gentle Mental on Nov 14, 2007 17:07:00 GMT 1, and another chunk:
" PayPal uses an Automated Verification System to verify credit card billing addresses that are entered in the system. An address is confirmed if it is associated with a credit card or can be independently verified by PayPal. Gift recipient addresses and addresses associated with a Switch/Maestro or Solo debit card cannot be confirmed. Currently, our system cannot verify most non-U.S. credit card billing addresses.
These types of security measures are unfortunately necessary in an online environment, where it is difficult to check someone's identity. In the physical world, sellers can check someone's credit card and driver's license. In the online world, where simple and effective identification tools do not yet exist, we have to take different precautions. We believe that these safety precautions are in the interest of all our members."
gawd these guys are useless!

I sold a DVD on ebay, buyer received and left me positive feedback. Buyer later told paypal the DVD was never shipped. The money was withdrawn from my account and I was unable to recoup. Total s**t!

Paypal unconfirmed address advice......, by anthonyvthc on Nov 15, 2007 18:25:43 GMT 1, I had the receipt for proof of shipping, but I did not get delivery confirmation. Paypal did not even care that the buyer left me feedback along the lines of "Wow! Fast Shipping! A+++" I try to avoid them as much as possible. (They will also screw both parties on international sales, in my experience)
