Anyone have some thoughts on this situation?
I posted a box of books on craigslist a while back. Someone responded, asking if I had a particular variety of these books. When I said I had a few, rather than a whole box, she offered to send a check and have me mail them. She is supposedly 90 minutes away and had hoped I would have enough books to make the drive worthwhile. I suggested Paypal rather than a personal check. She did send the Paypal, and I verified it in my account, but her Paypal account has no address listed. I have never seen this situation before. Right now, I have no way to send them because I have no address.
This certainly isn't the typical scam where you send the item to Africa or wire money to the shipping company, but it still seems a bit odd. Thoughts? 1|1|Should be okay ...|Jorainna|jorainna@aol.com|13:37:40|08/12/2013|
A lot of traders on this board itself don't list their address on their PP. People tend to be really cautious when it involves Craigs List; and this person probably just didn't want her address out there to be seen for every transaction. If you have already received the funds, then you should be fine. Just insure the books or get a tracking #, return receipt, etc. so the person can't come back and say they never received them! Was there an email address with the account that you could email back on to ask for the address? Hope this helps!

I'd never seen a PP account w/out an address before. She did just send me a mailing addy and it is in the area she claimed. It's not something expensive, so I'll give it a shot.
