Paypal Advice

the 21 days or when buyer leaves good feedback is standard on a lot of items sold on Ebay now so doesn;t mean your buyer has an unconfirmed address.

Your paypal payment will show whether he has a confirmed or unconfirmed address.

If you refund them 1p I've heard the money becomes available instantly.

An alternative method would be to do that, transfer the money to your bank account, post it out using recorded delivery, unlink your paypal account from your ebay account and make sure your paypal account is unlinked to your bank account, just to be sure.

Reason I'm saying this is because I've sold a phone on ebay, got a similar amount, they were unverified and my money was held, it worked out all find in the end though.

Problem is if unconfirmed address all seller protection gone. If he used a stolen card to pay, they will charge it back to paypal who will then come after you. If you have unlinked your account they send debt collectors after you.
