Why would a member take down VERIFIED Pay pal..,HELP

I had a member send me $50 through pay pal for holding 10,000 Dubia,,at that time he was a verified Pay Pal member.
He had to pay me by last night the balance which was several hundred $.
Now he is not Pay Pal verified and it tells me i am not seller protected.
Why do this? And what would you do??
Thank you very much

To me,it sounds as if i am gonna get it if i deal with this person.
Why would they take their bank out of the equation ?

Rich,

If you have concerns, you should go with how you feel.
To answer your question though, it may be something as innocuous as changing banks. I remember a year or two ago I left BOA and went with a credit union. I think I remember having to get re-verified and during that time of course was unverified.

Of course it may be something else and not as innocuous, maybe you could just ask this seller what's up?

Thanks for taking the time Lucille to answer this.
I am waiting before i refund his $. I get a bit cautious when dealing with several hundred $ and pay pal with live stuff.

Just looking to be sure of his intent. The money also came from his girlfriends account and not his own.This also worries me a little,but not much. My pay pal is in my wifes name that is the same as mine,where his name is different then hers.

Did you try asking the person why and see what their response is? Depending on what they say and how they word it, it may give you a better impression if you want to go forward with the deal?
good luck

I did,but no response as of yet. I will give them the day to respond.
This is the 1st with this situation so i needed to find out from you guys with the better knowledge.
Its a lot of money to worry about. For me anyways.
Thank you
Rich

Was the first payment from the girlfriend's account as well?

Yes. It was. On my Pay pal ,the $50 is verified and the balance they sent is not.

He says its his wifes account. And her name doesnt match his.

I realize this reply is a little late but in case it still helps the OP or someone else in a similar situation:

Ask to have an email "signed" by the account holder and sent from the email address associated with PayPal account that very briefly describes what is being sent, the amount paid, and the address it is being sent too. Take note of the current email address associated with the account so you'll know if it's suddenly changed in response to your request.

This is what I do when the Paypal name doesn't match and so far there hasn't been any issues.

Getting married doesn't mean a woman has to take her husband's name. We aren't considered property anymore.
