Sometimes, a scammer may make a payment to a seller’s PayPal account that exceeds the cost of the item they are purchasing. PayPal’s Seller Protection doesn’t cover shipments made to addresses that aren’t on file, so the seller loses both the item they shipped and the payment funds. The seller has no proof of delivery, because their transaction detail shows only the original, invalid address. When the scammer gets their shipment, they file a complaint with PayPal claiming that the item was never delivered. The scammer then contacts the shipping company and gives them a new, valid shipping address. After a purchase is made and the payment has been placed in the seller’s PayPal account, the scammer asks the seller to ship their purchased item to an invalid delivery address.Īfter several failed delivery attempts, the shipping company flags the item as undeliverable in their system.
