Got that "potential high risk" from paypal about 8 years ago when I started selling. I was a buyer only for a little, then saw how used items were going for damn near new prices and decided to get rid of a ton of stuff around the house I didnt use and probably would have sold for .50 at a yard sale. Well in my first week of selling EVER I made over $800 from nothing. Got that email, but all I had to do was ship with delivery confirmation and wait for it to show delivered etc........Paypal is a never ending battle, so just move on. I NEVER put all my eggs in one basket.......relying on ebay/paypal is like relying on Direct TV to work in the rain (sorry its raining and my damn direct tv is out,lol!) Clever idea I have seen ebay sellers do is get your own website....in your ebay listings under "enter in your location" type in whateverdotcom, UK or whatever and get a merchant account and your own website and push product that way. Send in your end of listing emails diretly to the buyers email to check out your website, offer discounted shipping or whatever if they purchase from your website. I cant tell you how many times I have personally purchased from ebay sellers websites just from looking at that section where it says whatever,US on their listings. Good Luck and remember, never count on any one thing to bring you income ESPECIALLY if it is paypal related.
