I am an international verified member, and yet my address remains unconfirmed. I have had requests from sellers to confirm my address, but according to the website, you can only have a confirmed address if you are a U.S. citizen. How am I to solve this problem?
Confirmed addresses come about because domestic (US) credit cards can go through an avs (address verification) check, which is not available to many international credit cards. There is no way to confirm an international address at this time.

DO NOT use PayPal if you are international!
Buyer DOES NOT accept payment from International! Because no protection, at buyer's risk!

I can understand that people would find me insane to be an international member and all. Because indeed, there is no protection.
But to be honest, when you are an international seller on Ebay, you have but little options if you really want to be able to sell something. Especially if you live in a country where they don't know money orders and charge very high bank charges for checkes and stuff.
