Can you find out payees IP Address?

Hi

As the heading says really... is it possible to find the IP address of a person who has paid you for a transaction?

I am needing to know if the details that were input were genuine and the buyer is from where they said.

thanks

Hello @ailsadell, 

Welcome! Thanks for joining the PayPal Community Forum. I can understand why you'd like to double-check that information. For security reasons, we don't offer that information about our buyers or our sellers. There are certainly inherent risks involved with every business, and PayPal does provide some coverage for our sellers in specific instances. I would recommend reviewing our Seller Protection to gauge whether you'd be comfortable moving forward with the transaction or not. 

Best wishes on this and future transactions!
