What is a Paypal Confirmed Address?
An address is confirmed if the buyer’s credit card billing address matches his or her shipping address. In some instances, PayPal can also confirm an address by examining the buyer’s PayPal account history.

The Purpose of a Confirmed Address:
Although the vast majority of unconfirmed addresses are not fraudulent, PayPal offers confirmed addresses as an additional layer of fraud protection. Confirmed addresses help guard against stolen credit cards and identity theft and decrease your chances of receiving a chargeback. However, it is important to note that you can still receive a chargeback for reasons unrelated to fraud.

How a Buyer Can Confirm an Address:
  1. Add a credit card to your PayPal account. PayPal will confirm the credit card billing address (i.e., the address where you receive your credit card statement).
  2. Apply for Paypal buyer credit (paypal.com/buyercredit). If you’re approved, the address on your application will be a Confirmed Address.
  3. Obtain alternate address confirmation. This process takes several days and is only available for U.S. accounts. To learn more, log in to your PayPal account and visit the Alternate Address Confirmation page (paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_account-aac).
  4. For questions, call Paypal's phone number, 1-888-221-1161 or visit Paypal's help page.
