Anyone know if Ireland has Paypal confirmed addresses? I have an Irish bidder on my bag and she says she has a confirmed PP address. Has asked to have it marked as a gift, but I told her it must be insured for full value ($1K+) and that she will be responsible for customs. She went ahead and bid. But I need to find out if I will be covered by PP in case of any problems. If Ireland does NOT have confirmed PP addresses, I may have to cancel her bid. THanks! Or if anyone has knowledgea and/or advice about shipping to Ireland in general, would appreciate hearing it.

Is it Ireland or Northern Ireland?
If it's NI then they should have Paypal confirmed addresses as it's part of the good ole UK. If it's Ireland then.....?
Just found this page on ebay.ie

I live in Ireland (but am not the bidder). Paypal can not confirm Irish addresses - however, I didn't think this was an issue anymore as paypal will protect you regardless? Am I wrong in thinking that?
Same here (in Ireland, not the bidder) - no confirmed addresses in the Republic, only in the North.
I think you're right, Paypal rolled out an all-over protection last year or so - or was it for powersellers only?
We get hit by customs from time to time (quite unpredictably), the buyer should be prepared for the possibility.
Otherwise it's a fairly low-risk, decent country - but better you trust your instincts.
If you decide to send it out do not use global express ! They use fedex in Ireland to deliver these fast delivery packages and this is how I never got my LE Lady Dior ! The fedex idiot left it outside the main door of the apartment block, on the street! Priority International is much better as they are delivered through regular post
FedEx are pretty annoying. They leave stuff outside your door, give it to your neighbour or, not leaving a note when you're not at home, return the package back to the sender. I've had issues with that on a professional level and I won't use them for personal shipping because I won't accept the risk of losing money due to a lazy/too busy courier.
