Random Question: Ebay Address Changed Request by Purchaser

readicculus86 · Sun Sep 13, 2015 3:46 pm

Wondering if there is anything I should worry about if a buyer purchased with one address and sent a message requesting me to ship to another address. Any advice is appreciated! Thank yo9u in advance.

I would say sorry, I can only ship to confirmed PayPal address. Please update that address via PayPal, or I'm sorry.

Is there anything sketchy that could happen to me as a seller or am I just worrying about nothing?

PayPal won't cover/protect you as a seller unless you send to the PayPal confirmed address, is my understanding.

Don't do it.

This happened to me recently. I just sent a message saying that couldn't ship to a non-paypal address without losing seller protection, but if he wanted to update his address in paypal I'd be glad to cancel and re-list with BIN for him. He agreed, we cancelled & he changed his PP address and the new transaction went through without any problems. If the buyer is legit, he should have no problem with updating his address and re-purchasing.

Done it a few times with no consequences. Depends on value of item
