arg paypal wont let me pay

[TechBoyJK]

I'm trying to do a buy it now deal on a motherboard on eBay.

I login to ebay, select buy it now, then it takes me to a pay pal page to login since the user requires paypal.

I fill everything out, and then it gives me a page that says "buyer needs confirmed address"

But it gives me a credit card form to fill out.. wtf. So I fill everything out, with the card I want to use and my billing address, and it tells me, card is already on your account. So it is. But there is no option to select a different card, or just confirm address.

wtf. I've used this plenty of times before. I just want to give the seller my damn money and I cant even do that.

confirmed address = PP needs to send you a letter to verify your identity

= protect sellers

I list all my shit "will not ship to unconfirmed address"

quite standard, really.

Thanks for your insight. :roll:

OP, as was stated above you need to verify your address through paypal. This is a program put in place to protect sellers.

The jist of it is a seller wont' be protected under SPP unless he ships to a confirmed address. Unconfirmed address = scammers paradise. Thus to reduce the risk of getting scammed, a seller will require payment with an account that has a confirmed address.
