PayPal uses an Automated Verification System to verify credit card
billing addresses that are entered on the system. Currently, our system
cannot verify Non-U.S. credit card billing addresses so you will not be
able to provide a confirmed shipping address to sellers.
These types of security measures are unfortunately necessary in an
online environment where it is difficult to check someone's identity.
In the physical world, sellers can check someone's credit card and
driver's license. In the online world, where simple and effective
identification tools do not yet exist, we have to take different
precautions. We believe that these safety precautions are in the
interest of all our members.
