In PayPal's version of English, doesn't "confirmed" mean that they have
access to your bank account and/or credit card, and "unconfirmed" mean
they don't? (From everything I've read, that's the case.)
I guess I'll stay perpetually "unconfirmed" and nobody will sell to me -
there's no way in hell I'm giving PayPal access to my bank account, and
they've already rejected my credit card. (Their advice? get another
credit card.) :-p
That sucks, because I'm looking to pick up a wireless network card for
my newt from eBay, and I'm seeing a lot of notices about how they'll
only send to a "confirmed" address.
