Paypal transactions are marked as risky

[Dethon]

When I use PayPal as my payment method the order is marked as risky in the admin panel.
Is this expected? and if so, why?

Also, I don't know if it's related, but I'm using a sandbox Braintree account.

@DethonUSAL, a little late but I came across a similar issue today while using another gem. It seems that Spree uses is_risky? method on orders, which in turn checks if payments are risky (scope here), which in turn is verifying whether CVV was correct and address was verified. Since paypal has neither a CVV nor an address verification, they are marked as risky.

Thank you, I had this in the backburner for a while. As of now I'm marking all PayPal payments as not risky in my test deployment. I wonder if there is a better way to address this.
