Paypal question - blocking payments from unconfirmed addresses

fuj

I just received a paypal payment from a buyer with an unconfirmed address even though I had set up my receiving preferences to block anyone with an unconfirmed address. I just went into the paypal preferences and now it looks like this only applies to "items not sold on eBay".

I know there has been quite a few threads on paypal lately but I wasn't able to find anything on this issue. Was this recently changed or am I the one that is crazy?

Unconfirmed addresses do not matter anymore with Pay Pal, meaning you are still protected....I would not worry.

11.4 What are the eligibility requirements for PayPal seller protection?

You must meet all of these requirements to be covered:

Ship the item to the shipping address on the “Transaction Details” page.


You may access the “Transactions Details” page by logging into your PayPal Account, selecting “History” and then selecting “Details” for the transaction.


Follow the shipping requirements described below.


Respond to PayPal’s requests for documentation and other information in a timely manner.


The transaction must be marked eligible or partially eligible for seller protection on the “Transaction Details” page.


If it is marked eligible, protection for both Unauthorized Payments and Item Not Received will apply. If it is marked partially eligible, protection for only Item Not Received will apply.


Items sold on eBay will be marked eligible even if the shipping address is marked unconfirmed. Generally, items sold on websites other than eBay will be marked eligible if the shipping address is marked confirmed and partially eligible if the shipping address is marked unconfirmed.


The item must be a physical, tangible good that can be shipped.


Your primary residence, as listed in your PayPal Account, must be in the United States.

i'd guess that maybe 20% of paypal buyers have unconfirmed addresses, most have moved or changed info and never updated. I just send a polite email to verify the info; thus far, knock on wood, no issues.

Thanks guys. This one is strange - the buyers addres is unconfirmed and the transaction details page says I am ineligible for the seller protection policy.

Since the buyer has 100% feedback and has bought a lot of cards lately, he seems to be legit. I guess I'll just send it with delivery confirmation and hope for no issues (it's only a $20 card). I hope this doesn't come up on a higher $$ card though.
