Thanks

    These are the little things that start the alarm bells ringing. I would check 192.com. I would probably not contact by e-mail but pull contact details and phone them to check everything is ok.


    The amount of effort you put in will be determined by how much you stand to lose. If its a fivers worth I would probably just bang it off. If it was £100 I would certainly be doing the things mentioned above.

    And keep a copy of the email in which they tell you which is the correct address.

    Always use the paypal address as otherwise you won't be covered against a chargeback.

    As soo + bleugh say, if you don't ship to the address provided by paypal, you leave yourself wide open to a chargeback.

    The buyer will have had to confirm the shipping address as part of the paypal checkout process, so it's highly unlikely paypal have got it wrong.
