How to tell if a buyer's paypal is verified?

[Memoriezz]

Greetings again,

I have no clue where to look if a buyer's paypal is indeed verified. I've read alot of thead about safe buying/selling but I didn't get my answer.

Also, how do you tell if the payment that has been sent is as a Gift?

Just click the Details link in paypal. It'll show you if they are PP verified or if it was sent as a gift.

"Name: Persons Name (The sender of this payment is Verified)"

The "Sent By" line, for me that displays there name and whether or not they are verified as I posted above. Are you verified? Perhaps PP doesn't display that info unless you yourself are verified.

I've also never received a Gift payment before, I was just assuming it would also be on that page.

Yes my account is verified. I also have a verified MMObay account for the Auction to prove so. I still can't see whenever they are verified or not though... I've received alot of payment and don't have any problem with all of those but never have I seen the "Verified" display on their names.

You can always contact PP support to find out where that info is.

Replace [email protected] with the email you want to check

However, keep in mind this does not protect you from scams. Even though a person is PP Verified, you can still face chargebacks and bank reversals as well as unauthorized transaction disputes.
