Why can't ebay users READ? Why can't Paypal users figure out what a confirmed address is???

I've got 2 auctions in payment phase and both buyers sent me unconfirmed addresses despite clear auction terms saying CONFIRMED only.

In the process of refunding one payment so he can resend with confirmed addy...the other is one town over from here and a small item, so I might just give in and send it.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......... they should require a reading test before you can bid.

*RANT* Ebay & Paypal - *CONFIRMED*

If Ebayers weren't so stupid, we wouldn't make as much money off of them.

You could edit your 'Payment Receiving Preferences' to block users who do not provide a 'confirmed address'.
