Thank you for the detailed explanation. Since I paid by credit card, it might take 30 days, so I've read. But it's good to know the funds are actually on the way and not just "promised." since the refund was sizeable ($1500), you've given me some peace of mind. Thanks again! ... View more

This refund was in response to a dispute I filed, and the dispute automatically closed. Can I re-open the dispute if the vendor never adds enough funds to her account? Will any funds credited to her account be applied to the refund immediately? Thank you for your time. ... View more

A vendor has authorized a refund which is pending. How do I know she actually has monies in her account to fulfill the refund? I have good reason not to trust her. ... View more

Same problem here.  I don't know why the forum system labels this topic as solved because it certainly wasn't.  However, I just called Paypal customer service and received this information:  The rep said that in viewing the particular purchase I am concerned about, he saw my address as confirmed and OK.  I replied that he may see it as confirmed, but I see it as unconfirmed and the important question is how does the seller see it?  He said the seller is seeing it as confirmed, but the rep would send the seller an email to OK the address and inform the seller that he is covered under the seller protection.  He also mentioned something about receiving a lot of calls concerning this address thing.  So if you have this same issue, please call customer service.  The more calls they receive, the sooner they will want to quit wasting their time on phone calls and fix the problem. ...
