Quick Guide To Automatically Rejecting Unconfirmed Paypal Payments
Are you tired of manually rejecting unconfirmed paypal payments ? What a headache this can be . Alot of sellers right here on ebay do not know this. If you accept a paypal payment and the buyer does not have a confirmed address and you ship the item , you are setting yourself up to lose alot of money. I have personally been the victim of this type of fraud before and this is why I am writing this guide. Basically when you ship an item to a person with an unconfirmed address, all the person has to do is "claim" that this was an unauthorized transaction through Paypal. Paypal will immediately remove the payment directly from your Paypal account , or bank account after the item has already been shipped ! If someone actually does hijack your Paypal account by way of the "spoof" emails all that person has to do is change the current address on the hijacked Paypal account & bid on ebay or other sites that accept Paypal. When you receive payment from these people it will come up on your paypal payment "unconfirmed address" The best way to combat this fraud is to stop accepting unconfirmed payments . It is very easy to get a "confirmed address" if you are living in the US. The only way for buyers outside of the US to be confirmed is to have a US based credit card. Paypal is now offering the ability to deny all unconfirmed address payments ! Simply call Paypal @ 1-888-221-1161 and request for your account to be setup not to accept unconfirmed Paypal payments , it is that easy !
