    UK addresses are hardly ever confirmed. Just the way the system works with credit cards in the UK, PayPal is American and they do have confirmed addresses. Just relax you'll get your goods and if you don't he will have to refund your money.


    Where is the MP3 player coming from? Hong Kong? If so it could take upto 3 weeks so you just need to stay calm.

    Given that the auction specifically states "We accept Paypal from confirmed US addresses ONLY, for international buyers we require Bidpay or Money Order / Cashiers Checks.". Why did you bid and then pay via paypal?

    oh sh*t i did not read that all i saw was at the bottom of the page he accepts paypal and that was good enough for me as i have 10 seconds to bid for the item so did not read the whole page in detail

    Hi amit


    just had a look at his listing:-

    He clearly states that he will not accept PayPal from overseas bidders and will only accept bidpay or money order.

    You will need to get intouch with him and see if your paypal payment is ok. In the meantime you hhad better look into BidPay (i have never used them).

    Also note he is not reponsible for lost packages. USPS Priority is pretty good though.
