I work here. i would know what types of scams are the most common.

IIRC, Mio.

You have to have a verified PayPal account, people have to ship to the account’s address. Buyer or seller.

PayPal are very strict with these rules, and I’m not sure if PayPal would side with either. Even with screenshots of communications.

Risky imho.
you could use said other persons account or make another or change address.

Young Padawan,

As a volunteer moderator (not an employee of PB), please do not recommend buyers or sellers to engage in transactions that void buyer or seller protection on PayPal. "some kind of proof" or "get them to trust you" isn't going anywhere with PayPal IF there were to be a discrepancy in the transaction.

To clarify, I'm not saying you're wrong in terms of proportionate scam volume. However, buyers here on PB, on occasion, actually manipulate or attempt to manipulate PayPal policy to scam the seller.

Assuming your profile age is legitimate, I will mention to you that I was scammed here on PB before you were born.

Thats not to say there's any scam accusation towards the user who asked the question. It's a fair logistics question and it's best to review PayPal policy with information directly from PayPal.

What I was speaking to is a rationale as to why a seller may not be willing to ship to an address not associated with the buyers paypal account. Referring to " establishing proof of shipment or proof of deliver" noted in the link below.

Dear product bros and co.

Could we add a feature to manage lowballers within messaging?

I believe this once was a thing with the keyword "trade".

Make an offer and accept reject are high on my wishlist.

I noticed a "repost all" button showing up today, but when I clicked it I was told I don't have permissions. Is this a feature that is coming?
