Won't Accept PayPal - why?

Not that long ago, a seller could ONLY ship to confirmed address per PayPal policy. If they shipped to an unconfirmed address, there was zero protection. All the buyer had to do is say they didn't get the item and the seller was on the hook for the money.

Seems this has been revised. Not sure when they made the change, but your seller probably doesn't realize a change has been made. (I didn't either) The current rules are >here<.
(edit) Well, the link won't work unless you go to paypal and log in first. Here is what it says under seller protection.

Ship to the address on the Transaction Details page
In the process of making a payment, buyers are prompted to enter a shipping address. You can find this address on the Transaction Details page along with whether or not the transaction is eligible for protection under the Seller Protection Policy. The Seller Protection Policy requires that you ship to the address shown on the Transaction Details page regardless of whether this address is the user's Confirmed Address or not.

When a transaction is ineligible for coverage under the Seller Protection Policy, however, we advise that you ship to the buyer's Confirmed Address whenever possible. Shipping to a buyer's Confirmed Address helps ensure that you are shipping to the person who set up the PayPal account. It is important to note, though, that users in some countries do not have the ability to confirm their addresses. In such cases, you may want to take special care when shipping packages by obtaining proof of shipping or tracking information.

Q. Is Seller Protection available for U.S. sellers who transact with U.K. buyers?

A. No. At this time, the Seller Protection Policy is only available for U.S. or Canadian sellers transacting with U.S. buyers, and for U.K. sellers transacting with U.K. or U.S. buyers.

I have never worried about confirmed or unconfirmed addresses. In a 1000 or so transactions, I have yet to get stung!

To bad he's not buying from you.
