"To confirm address , pleas enter Credit Card below" Huh??

[TimP]

Hello,

I'm trying to buy a lamp from a website called cknifeusa.com .

I'm fully registered with PayPal and have sufficient fund in my PayPal account to complete the transaction with cknifeusa.com.  I selected, 'Checkout with PayPal' but I then get a strange message after it takes me to the PayPal site (and yes, it looks like I'm truly redirected to PayPal as it says... https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SES .... etc...

"The seller of this item requires you to provide a Confirmed Address for delivery. To confirm your address, please add a credit card below."

AND

"This transaction amount is greater than your available PayPal balance. To complete purchase, please add a credit or debit card."

Number 1, there ARE enough available funds for the transaction.  Number 2, why does paypal need to confirm my address when I gave it to them when I registered.  Number 3, Why do they need me to enter my CC number when they already have my debit card info in the system. 

Any thoughts anyone? is this legit?

This is wrong !!!!!   As PayPal is NOT designed to work this way nor are there any features or options to setup a PayPal Account to function in this manor.

Suggest you bail.

Thanks guys,

Looks like I will NOT follow thru with my order.  Appreciate the feedback and 'No', I didn't know that it was a UK site.  Very interesting.

Blocking paymetns from unconfirmed address is still a Paypal option.

Block Payments for the items not sold on eBay from U.S. users who do not provide a confirmed address:
 Yes
 No
 Ask Me

Log into your Paypal account and see if your credit /debit card you have on file has expired or is near its expiration date.  If so update the cards expiration date.

Well, this is a UK site - were you aware of that?

If they give shipping by USPS, then I'd say the site is a scam site meant to get your credit card numbers.
