Posting to an unconfirmed address?

Hi I'm not sure what the implications of this are. But is it still ok to post so long as delivery is tracked and signed for?

    The postage sticky has lots of helpful advice.

    The first post says you WON'T be covered for seller protection if the address isn't confirmed.
    So I think that means even if you send it tracked and it gets signed for, if the buyer claims INR, you might still have to refund.

    Address doesn't need to be confirmed, it just needs to show in the address box with a green tick saying 'ok to send'

    I haven't got my expert hat on so always double check against the sticky thread.

    I've got a PC problem ,probably a virus that I got from downloading Firefox when I was haing problems listing in eBay, so I'm having to rely on the real experts on the techie board to help me .

    I got a message from Paypal saying i was covered for seller protection if the item was tracked but NOT if it turns out to be an unauthorised transaction. So i asked the buyer to confirm their address, and they did.

    Why are some 'Registered as a business seller' eBay sellers not displaying an address when others are required to.... Hmm.
