Hi
Have been selling on ebay for ages now but this is the first time I have come across someone using an unconfirmed paypal address. The address on ebay/paypal match, the user only has feedback score 1 for a collected item, she has paid just under £90 for my item, is it ok to send to unconfirmed address or should I ask her to get it confirmed first?
thanks

Hi,
I've sold and bought tons on ebay andhave just checked my details and I'm 'unconfirmed' too..
It's not a problem at all - If I come across this I normally shoot off an ebay message or email to the buyer and confirm addey before sending - that way everything is clear - personally I wouldn't worry, as long as it's been paid for.
Cheers

Unconfirmed is a relic of the days when Paypal operated in only a few regions (principally in North America and GB) and as such most addresses outside these regions are unconfirmed. Buyer/seller protection extends a bit further than it used to."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

All that matters is whether the transaction when viewed in paypal shows as 'OK to send'. The just remember to keep yoru special delivery receipt for a minimum of 180 days.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
