Have you ever heard of this. I had an auction end. The person paid by PayPal, is verified but does not have an address on file? I also see that PayPal has changed their announcement email You've got Cash. I thought is said somewhere that the auction isn't protected unless you ship to the address that paypal has on hand. I am so confused. I did hear from my buyer and he told me he would send his friends address so that I could send it to him. Does anyone think this is strange.

Very strange...did you go to Paypal and see the transaction? I would not accept the payment or ship until I had verified it through Paypal.

The person sending the cash might have clicked to NOT include an address.
When you send cash the option is at the bottom of the screen.
Did they send a seperate email giving you rhe shipping address or did the check-out?
Dunno what else to tell ya. If it were a small purchase i'd accept it. If it were large then i'd consider refusing it or base your judgement on the bidders feedback.

I rec'd a "you've got cash" from Paypal recently with unverified address. It automatically accepted the payment. I thought that I had to manually accept payment for those. Was I wrong?
I also thought you had to have an addy on file with PP.

Well the items he bought were necessary items and the cost was minimal. To me it was very minimal so I will send them and see what happens. He did pay and PayPal accepted it so it must be okay. It's to bad PayPaldamon doesn't surf the boards more. Maybe I will go to the forum for PayPal and ask him. I did check his feedback and he has only about 3 auctions since January and they all said positive things. This makes me think he can't receive mail. Now this is only a guess. So when he sends me the address I will send them. I just wondered if anyone else had this experience.

We have had several like that. Usually they are sending a gift to a friend or a relative so we ship to the other address.
Ours have been under $50 so we have gone ahead with it and it has always been okay. But then we mostly trust people and take chances. You would have to decide the risk for your own situation.

There seems to be some confusion between 'verified' and 'confirmed address' I'll try and give my understanding of it.
VERIFIED means only that the member has a bank account verified with their PayPal account.
CONFIRMED SHIPPING ADDRESS means that the buyer has a credit card on file and has decided to give that address as the shipping address.
The buyer doesn't have to give a 'Confirmed Shipping Address,' when sending the payment the buyer can choose to include or not include the 'confirmed shipping address'.
The seller doesn't have to accept payments from an 'Un-Confirmed Shipping Address.' A seller (with a Premier/Business account) can log on to their account, click on 'profile', click on 'Types of Payments Accepted' and set their preferences regarding 'confirmed shipping addresses':
Would you like to accept payments from users who do not have a Confirmed Address?
_Yes
_No
_I will decide on a case by case basis
My suggestion is you decide on a case by case basis unless you're selling expensive electronics, jewelry, etc.. In that case I'd set my preferences not to allow 'unconfirmed shipping' payments.
It's kind of silly to demand a confirmed shipping address on low dollar items. An on-line florist would be out of business in a week with such a policy.
It's REAL silly not to demand a confirmed shipping address on a high dollar item that is sought after by thieves.
verified is good.
confirmed shipping address is gooder.
verified and confirmed shipping address is goodest.
PayPal offers a lot of tools, the key is knowing how, when, and why to use them.

Update from paypaldamon:
A "confirmed" address, which is a component of the Seller Protection Policy, is the address confirmed from the credit card.
Verifiedmeans that the user has given stronger credibility to their identity through bank account verification.
These two items are often confused, but they are not the same.
As an aside, signature confirmation is required on transactions over $500.00 for the Seller Protection Program.

katmommy,
I'm not sure, now. It's when the address the buyer asks you to ship to is not the address on the Paypal page you have to go to in order to accept the payment.
I've always accepted the payment after checking it through the National Address Search or reverse phone # search.

Hi mrfoxy76,
I can provide proof that it works when the user follows the steps in the Seller Protection Program.
