Ebay/Paypal Panel

[1orion2many]

Are these suggestions or complaints I think Jgon would like some constructive criticism on Paypal both for and against so they might actually listen to him when he is talking to these people. No matter what you say it is now far easier to buy overseas items since the inception of Paypal compared to the old Western Union money orders or money transfers.

The issue with "confirmed" addresses in Australia isn't PayPal's - it comes down to our privacy laws. The account/card issuer (your bank) can't give any details to the merchant (PayPal) - to protect the privacy of the account/card holder.

In the USA (and I guess other jurisdictions) PayPal can ask the issuer to _confirm_ the address supplied as matching that on the issuer's records, but if they do so here, the bank can't confirm without breaching privacy laws.

It's silly, I know, but it's not PayPal's fault.
