I've heard of this shit happening before, but I don't know if it's true. Too bad snopes doesn't work for that shit. heh. I may just refund the payment and tell them to either get their address confirmed or send me a US Postal money order. Hell, I don't know.

I don't think you have to worry about either. I'm not aware of there being fraudulent transactions through Paypal like what you're describing... maybe the other way around, where someone sends money for something that never comes. But never where someone receives money and there ends up being a problem.

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.
