Anything not being posted Special Delivery isn't covered by paypal protection anyway. A polite request from me for postage to a firend or relation would result in a negative if it was refused.
I have won one fraudulent use of card claim already just by providing proof of postage to the paypal address, no tracking and no proof of delivery. So although I am aware of the risk I would still ship to an alternative address if the item was cheap enough not to worry me too much.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I only do if it's the address I'm told to by PayPal, if it's too much effort to enter a different address at checkout then it's too much effort for me to send to a different address!!!0

You can treat your customers how you see fit. Any hint of that attitude would induce me to give you a hard time though.
I was in a hotel in London and lost my phone stylus. A local ebay seller was available and after an email dropped a set off reception for me. Even offered to refund my 99p postage, which I declined. He had no idea that I was a reasonably big seller of phones, but got all my business for spares from that time onward.
Pointing out paypal rules to a buyer for a trivial amount of money doesn't wash.0 -
