eh, I'd be very weary of that. I just recently had a paypal claim filed against me. It was denied because I was right and item was accurately described. For high dollar items I do NOT ship to unconfirmed address. Has to be confirmed. Since he is unverified and the address is unconfirmed, that means he could have used someone else's credit card. I dunno. It's up to you, what's his feedback rating?

thats what I was thinking too, his feedback score is 2, both positive, no negatives. BUT his address on both paypal and ebay are the same

Here's the thing, these are the 2 ways I could see he got the money in his account and still be unverified.

1| He used a credit card

2| Someone sent him money and it was enough to pay for it

The problem is, if he used (1), he would have a CONFIRMED address since he would have had to link his credit card onto PayPal and thus the billing address becomes the confirmed address. That's what I have a problem with, I believe on your PayPal transaction page, it says that the item is NOT eligible for the "seller protection" thing right? I dunno about that. I mean if it's a lot of money, I wouldn't take the chance, I'd refund the money and then tell him to use a confirmed address or send a postal money order, NOT a bank/cashier's check. And if he doesn't want it, selling it to the next highest bidder at a slight loss but they have a better rep, would be worth it.

Paul whenever you accept any payment from paypal, it MUST be (well for ur protection) from a verified user AND the payment MUST BE made with a CONFIRMED SHIPPING ADDRESS, and make sure you paid for an online " trackable" tracking number when you ship it out.
or else no matter what you do, the buyer can still reject the payment withint 90 days, EVEN after you transfer the funds into your bank account.

Yeah man sorry, didn't even think about that. I haven't used ebay/paypal for 2 years bc my friend was selling dvds of a concert on it, they banned the account for "copyright infringement." When it's banned it wouldn't let him see the addresses of all the people that paid, so he couldn't ship the dvds. So everyone of course reported it and paypal ended up with about $250 of money that wasn't theres... *********.

Like the others said, for a high value item make sure they're verified.

Paul99EX

good points guys, ima gonna put the money back into my paypal and refund it to him and tell him he needs to send a money order

Paul99EX

The money being sent to my bank acct is still pending, is there a way for me to cancel the request to send it to the bank to keep it in paypal so i can refund this -------?

just click refund, you won't even lose any fees, 100% refund.

Paypal can pull money out of your bank account at any time, why I have a special account that I keep at a low (under $25) balance.

Paul99EX

wait, so I can click refund and it will pull the money out of my bnank acocunt? I dont have to withdraw from my account to put it back into paypal then? ---- i hate paypal, im going back to old shcool on ebay, ,money orders hands down

Donald125

yes you are right, paypal will do it for you AKA they have access to ur account

it takes about 3 days for each pending transction to go throught.
