Paypal.....Confirmed/Unconfirmed Address BS
Why is it when I pay with Paypal it says I have an unconfirmed address 50% of the time? I re-recheck my account and it says I am confirmed. Then I make a payment and it says I'm unconfirmed.
This is really getting to me and I thought I'd check if anyone else is having this problem before I waste a week trying to ask Paypal.
I hate to ship to an unconfirmed address (because you lose your rights as a seller) but I just don't trust Paypal on this issue.
I have a confirmed account (verified) and an unconfermed addy, they want your credit card info. IIRC.
I have a verified account too, and a verified shipping address.
They have my Bank and Credit Card info.
But when I pay for an auction, 50% of the time it says I have an
unverified address when they send out the payment email.
Sometimes verified and sometime not.
And my address is verified when I go to my account.
I'm not yelling at you FireTiger but at Paypal
Edit: I was using verified when I meant confirmed.
Bottom Line: I have a Verified account with a confirmed address.
But when I pay for an auction it doesn't always say I'm confirmed.
I think I'm even confusing myself here
You can't even verify your address if you live in Australia =/
It's really annoying when I want to buy something in America, for example, and a seller won't sell to me even though I have 100% positive feedback.
For some reason, I have had this problem lately also. It only happens when I try to send payment using the Ebay checkout process. When I go to checkout (using the "pay now" button on the auction itself), Ebay lists several addresses I have on my Ebay account. The one that I have confirmed through Paypal is marked "confirmed" on this screen. However, if I select this address and make a payment, it isn't showing as confirmed on the payment. I even had one seller tell me that it was showing me as unverified also, which is odd since I have been verified for years.
For now, I have been manually sending payment through Paypal instead of using Ebay checkout.
I have a similar problem. My confirmed address is my P.O. Box. So when I see auctions that say, "will only send to confirmed addresses, will not send to p.o. boxes", I'm basically screwed.Originally Posted by Amy Rose

Re: Paypal.....Confirmed/Unconfirmed Address BS
I've been having the same sort of problems lately, but only when I try to use Paypal through the tigerdirect web site. My account and address are both listed as "confirmed" when I start out, but when I go to the "pay" button, it suddenly says that my address is not confirmed.
So far, every time a seller has "required" a confirmed address and I wanted to use a non-confirmed address, they accepted the payment. I simply sent them an email asking if it was ok and for them to check out my Ebay feedback and Paypal verified transactions number.
i have a credit card on my paypal account, and that is it.
i refuse to give them a bank account because i said so.
I've had this problem too. So far I haven't encountered any must-buy deals that require confirmed address but if I'd win one and the seller would refuse to ship because of this I'd be terrible pissed.

I had this problem but I seem to have fixed it....In my paypal account it had for some reason had many different versions of my address in variations. Like: case sensitive differences and BS like that. I deleted all of the improper versions of my account info and set the correct one as default. Haven't had a problem since.
Responsible government is not only a good idea, it's the law. Really. If only they had this on a sign outside of every government building.
Same goes for Canada. It just doesn't matter if my feedback is 100% positive, some just wont ship unless the address is verified.You can't even verify your address if you live in Australia
I have a Canadian Paypal account and the address is verified. They started verifying Canadian addresses quite some time ago.
One thing that was a pain in the ass for me was when I moved to Canada. I had a US account, verified, with hundreds of reputation points. Then I moved to Canada and found out that they have no way to add a Canadian address to a US account. Even worse, they have no way of migrating your US account to a Canadian account. Even worse still, you can't have one credit card on multiple Paypal accounts. I only have one credit card, so I had to delete my Paypal account (losing all my online records and reputation) and create a new Canadian one from scratch. At that time, there was no way to verify Canadian addresses so I was stuck as unverified for months until they added the ability. That sucked.
i don't keep c/card # with my Paypal.
I enter the number when I use and remove afterwards...
for address living in Australia I can't get it confirmed but I don't really care nor 99% of sellers I encounter as they know with people outside USA confirmed address is just myth... :/
Hey, you're right. I just logged on to PayPal and it reads my member status is verified. Don't know how long it's been that way, but it's funny how I never noticed.I have a Canadian Paypal account and the address is verified. They started verifying Canadian addresses quite some time ago.
Sweet!
