Hi @antiqueetc,
This is an excellent question. Most often Unverified users are newer to PayPal or use PayPal infrequently and not necessarily a hard sign for higher risk. Selling to an Unverified user does not nullify your Seller Protection, but it's important to use your best judgement. Some warning signs to look for is if they are pressuring you to ship quickly, willing to pay a higher shipping fee, asking to ship to anywhere other than the address listed in the transaction, of if the payment is in a different name than what's been provided elsewhere. These are just a few, but here is more information on avoiding fraudulent orders.
I hope this helps and thank you!
