Hey guys, my first time here on the discussion boards.... ) Wanted to see if anybody could help or may have had a similar experience. I sold an item to a bidder who sent me funds via PayPal. He is Verified AND he sent me NON-CREDIT CARD card funds, however on his PayPal history has elected to not show his verified address. I know this is a big read flag if it were credit card funds, but he sent me NON CREDIT CARD funds. Any comments, suggestions?? Thanks!!!

It is my belief that if the payment origin is NON CREDIT CARD, you should be ok. However, you might check the PayPal guidelines for actual information. I CAN tell you one thing: DON'T accept a PayPal payment from a credit card if the address is not verified. Learned that the hard way!
Good luck! shark

Hi, I am a verified Paypal user but I only use funds existing within my account that I receive when buyers pay for one of my auctions. I do not have a credit card registered with Paypal nor do I intend to. So when I pay for an auction using funds within my account (non-credit card) it comes up listed as you said. You only get the verified shipping address when you register a credit card through Paypal. Obviously we are not going to scam anyone without a verified shipping address since we are not using a credit card, I wish Paypal would change that part.

To all you sellers out there who are getting frustrated and abused by:
· Non-paying bidders
· paypal charge backs
· Bounced checks
· Fraud problems
· Negative feedback for no good reason (retaliation)
I found out the hard way that safe harbor and FBI don’t do a thing about it, and I signed up for a sitesentury.com, a security company that will do REAL investigations. Check out their site, I signed up for their service and I put their log on all my auctions and the bad guys will think twice before they mess with me!!!!!!! It is like having a security guard by my side protecting me!!! Which car do you thing the thieves like to break-in: one with alarm-on or one without??? That is what the log will do for you.
The investigator already got me some of the money I lost on bounced checks and the bank fee too!!!!!!
Do yourself a favor and check out sitesentry.com
