"Shipped" on providing a service

Hi, I teach students by Skype, and they pay me via PayPal. Do I need to press that "shipped" button after I provide my service, but don't actually send any physical goods? Or is it ok to just leave it? And is there any standard way that I can prove I have provided a service? Thanks in advance for your advice!     ... View more

Is it possible to verify the customer's country?

Hello, I am using PayPal business account, and my customers pay through PayPal "buy now" buttons on my website.  For VAT-purposes I need to know whether my customer is EU-based. What is the easiest way to verify that? I don't ask for the shipping address because I am selling services, not physical goods. In the transaction info I only see the name and email of the sender, but not the country. It only says: "The sender of this payment is Non-US - Verified". Is it possible to verify whether the client is EU-based? So that on the transaction instead of Non-US verified it would state something like "Non-EU verified/EU-verified"? Any other suggestions how to do it?   Thanks a lot in advance! 🙂 ... View more
