Thanks for the info. What is unconfirmed? Un verified? Because these guys insist that you are verified and still say they want all my details. If they wanted to know ebay history etc as you suggest I can maybe understand it, but not those details. They want more than any vendor I have dealt with who was not even using Paypal, but a straight card transacation! Photos of both sides of my card....not me!
That request does sound Odd, and you are smart to be cautious
"Confirmed" is when paypal verifies that the mailing address matches the CC billing address, this is done a few ways through the paypal system. I had moved last year and they (paypal) "un-confirmed" me and made me call a phone number and give them a code number that they had mailed me to confirm my account. I too was upset as the process took a few days and my account was in limbo for those days, and of course this happened while I was trying to pay someone. But I understand this is a security feature that is meant to protect the users, both Me and the Sellers I do business with.
Good luck
