Default Paypal 'Risk Alert Icon/Flag'
Hi All,

I logged on to my Paypal today and have numerous payments from today that have red flags next to them. When I hover over the flag it just states "Risk Alert", there is no further information.

Does anyone know what this means?

All the payments are from verified accounts and don't seem dodgy.

Just worried the Paypal Police will start sniffing around.

I was just about to ask this myself actually i also got the "risk factor" flag on payments coming in today!!

My guess is alot of people got it today -I called my US buddy up aswell seems he has it aswell with payments coming in!! It's going to be an interesting discussion i think.

I think paypals testing something out - there definitely upto something!!

Nothing to worry about i think.

I think there finally going to go down harder on buyers who scam and who have alot of returns - they'll be getting flagged up alot if there scammers hence the "risk factor" thats just my opinion rather logical i think.

When I get payments with e-checks I get that littel red flag. Maybe it has something to do with that. Just saying, or paypal is playing with things atm.

Log into your PayPal if you're not already using a 'business paypal' it should be showing the word UPGRADE next to the word 'Premier'..

Hasn't shown there before at all, only appeared when the Red flags did..

Anyone else showing this is the case?

Apparently this is what it is; TAKEN FROM E B AY foru ms

Paypal CS and they have said that this is a new visual air for ebay sellers to remind you to...

1: send all items signed for or by courier to qualify for seller protection
2: to remind sellers to check the buyers address registered with both paypal and ebay and that they match up
3: finally to only post to the address registered with paypal as if you post to another address you will not be covered

Just confirmed it 20x times on a confirmed business account too...

I have had issues with tracking not entering automatically lately...

Maybe someone inside paypal a employee is getting revenge... \

Or they are finally just telling the truth.... EVERY TRANSACTION IS HIGH RISK! lol
