PayPal Verified - Where does this show in eBay?

If I verify my PayPal account, how does this present itself to prospective buyers on eBay? If it doesn't, then what's the point of the Verification scheme?

    You verify to give yourself a higher withdrawal limit and it shows as verified if you buy anything.

    Thanks. I should perhaps point out that I have for the first time listed some items for sale, having previously just been a buyer.

    Having looked at the PayPal Verified Seal, I recognise it but can't recall exactly where I've seen it.

    I think I must have completed part of the verification because PayPal Receipts for my purchases, sent to me by e-mail have my address in as the shipping address, and alongside it says "confirmed" in green.


    I came across this which is presumbly for US eBay users, because it is on ebay.com and there is no "uk" in the URL:
    http://pages.ebay.com/paypal/buyer/verify/
    How does Verification benefit you?

    * Improves your reputation.
    Let others know you're a Verified member of the PayPal community. Once you're Verified, you can add your own PayPal Verified seal to your eBay listings.

    This implies that prospective buyers can see who is PayPal Verified.
