Trouble With Buying Online Using Paypal

[TheDutyPaid]

I was placing an order with an online PC components supplier (Not sure I can name them under forum rules?) I was going to pay with my Paypal account to £70 value, which would come out of my funds.

I also had an offer of free postage on this order. But when in came to pay I went through the Paypal login ect, as I was returned to the final pay page. I was told as the address was unconfirmed it would take an extra 2 day plus a postage charge of £6.99

Knowing my address is confirmed (as said on Paypal site) I found this very frustrating and had ordered from the site before.

I have also had problems with Paypal on Steam had to wait 4 days for £1.99 to go through.

Wonder if it is me, or do retailers not trust paypal?

(Sorry if this sounds like a rant)

Well, for some reason the computer processing your order thinks the 2 addresses are different.

Is it possible you didn't leave a gap between the house number and street name or something? Be sure to compare your spelling on both the order page and your Paypal profile.

A good tip, but I am quite OCD about entering my address, I do quite a bit of selling on eBay and it always surprises me how many people don't use any caps or put the post code with no gap. I know it is not needed to still get to the right place, but still.
