Thanks, Grant

Personally, I wouldn't do it. He can go pick up his bits at his mates. But I guess if all the messages about it have come through to you through eBay, then you might be alright.

VERY dodgey.

You will not stand a hope in hell of winning the inevitable "item not received case" case will persue after you post and he collects it.

ONLY ever ship to the paypal address on file.

Also, send it recorded and make sure you keep the proof of postage.

Sounds like you have a scammer on your ass here.

I've ordered things to my ex's house before from my PayPal... so obviously a different address. Also to my uni address from my PayPal... so obviously a different address.

I've even messaged sellers to change the delivery address because I accidentally selected to delivery an item to my girlfriend's house when it was meant to be a little surprise extra present for her birthday.

You can have multiple addresses in your paypal account and can you can choose which one you want at checkout.

People should use this method, not sending messages.

This protects the seller, which lets face it, ebay and paypal dont give a feck about the sellers.

I would only post to verified addresses, (I think that's what PayPal call it)

I'd say it was fine but send it recorded just in case. I quite often have stuff sent to a different address but I also make the seller aware that I have altered the delivery address, which you can do while paying with Paypal. If the guy sent a message asking for this, it's all on record if they try to pull a flanker. If they havn't, ask them just to send you a message through eBay stating they want it sent to a different addy.

Seriously, I wouldn't worry.

Dude, If you send to any address other than the paypal address, and the buyer opens a dispute, paypal will just screw you over for not following their terms and conditions of use.

Just make sure you send it recorded if its not recorded they can just lie and keep the item and force a refund from you...

You will have rendered yourself ineligable for seller protection if you send the item to a different address:

Not at all dodgey I have four delivery addresses on my PP account and could add a fifth in a few moments. Just ask him to change the addy in his mate's PP.

OP, did the buyer pay using one delivery address and then ask it be sent to a different one? If so, I've misunderstood and it might be a different kettle of fish.

If his mate will let him use his paypal then I'm pretty sure his mate can accept the delivery for him too

Word of advice, you should only post to the address(s) on paypal. Wrongs' right, if the seller says he never got the item (regardless of first class signed) you will have no comeback, I sold a phone on ebay and got screwed over this. Just google paypal sucks for more reasons.
