And I'd just double-check with the person about their address if you're concerned about that. But once you've officially gotten the payment from Paypal, you should be good.
This is completely incorrectly. If the account is Unverified and the address is Unverified, this *could* be a hijacked account and you are NOT covered by Ebay or Paypal if you ship this item. Contact the buyer and ask them to confirm both their account and their address before shipping.

But even if there was, I can't imagine Paypal would just stick you with the loss. That entire process is their business. I'm sure they'd make it right if there was something wrong, because it would be mostly their fault.

And as for the shipping, if you're really worried just pay the extra for the tracking info when you mail the package so you can prove both that you sent it and where you sent it to. I don't think there's anything more a seller could do from their end.
This is more bad advice. You DO have to "worry about either" if it's neither are verified and since Paypal already stated that this item is not covered under the Seller's Protection Plan, if you ship this item and it's later found to be a fraudulent transaction, YOUR Paypal account will be given a negative balance and you'll be responsible for funding your account back to zero.

NEVER send USPS as the tracking sucks. Use Fed Ex, UPS or DHL.
