16. Why do you require shipping to unconfirmed address? What about Seller Protection?
SELLER PROTECTION has been re-named THE SELLER PROCTLOGICAL EXAM, a FREE eBay SERVICE!
To qualify & take advantage of this WUNDEFUL benefit, simply OPT-IN to participate in EBAY EXPRESS -- once approved, simply...BEND OVER!
Buyers used to the typical e-commerce experience often ship their purchases to multiple addresses. For example, a buyer may ship his/her purchases to a work or gift recipient address. Shipping addresses that are not the buyer’s billing address are typically unconfirmed addresses.
As eBay Express is designed to attract buyers looking for a more conventional e-commerce experience, we allow buyers to have their purchases shipped to unconfirmed addresses.
PayPal Seller Protection continues to cover all eBay Express transactions that meet the program requirements. Shipping to unconfirmed addresses will disqualify a transaction from PayPal’s Seller Protection. We recommend sellers evaluate the potential increase in sales from selling to more buyers against the risk of losing PayPal Seller Protection for some of those sales.
Tools to manage risks:
To ensure you only do business with confirmed addresses, you can remove your listings from eBay Express.
Opt-out from eBay Express using the My eBay Preference and/or
Set your PayPal account to “block payments from unconfirmed addresses”.
To decide on a sale-by-sale basis whether you will accept unconfirmed addresses,
Set your PayPal account to “Ask me before accepting payments from unconfirmed addresses”. Just like eBay.com today, buyers can still leave feedback even if the select rejects the buyer’s payment.
Additional information on how to manage seller risk and chargebacks were covered in a recent workshop by PayPal.

<b>or the new checkout integration API (for 3rd party order processing)</b>
Thanks for your response. I saw that in the requirements and wondered....does that mean US? I've ended/relisted my eBay store items 3 times since December to meet the everchanging eBay market (postal increase/bidpay/marking "new" for eBay express on items with previous sales). I just don't think I could bear to end/relist again to take out Vendio redirect
That would mean that I would have to end/relist all of my eBay store items (yet again!) to take out the checkout redirect?
