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!!!

Several of us have had the same question--I accepted the payment I received, thinking that I was probably safe, since there couldn't be a chargeback on a non-CC transaction. Then someone posted the following thread:
There's a possibility that the buyer hasn't provided an address because he funds his account from bank funds only, doesn't receive money into the account or doesn't withdraw it via check. It's also possible that your buyer is someone who wants the item shipped to his work address, which is different than his credit card billing address. You might email the buyer and ask him about it, or pull his Ebay contact info (assuming this is an Ebay deal), to see if it matches up with the shipping address you were given.

Welcome Juliette.
I think I'm having the same problem only from the buyers perspective. I'm verifed. Paypal has verifed my address and my bank account, but my address is not showing up on that stupid little drop down menu when I pay. I'ts very likely that its not that the buyer won't show you his mailing address, but that he can't. My understanding is Paypal won't provide an address as an option unless it is verified by a credit card. So anyone who is verifed through a bank account and wants to pay with funds currently in their account is sorta up a creek.
