    As the house number is on the Paypal address, and the seller needs to send to the Paypal address, then just open a dispute in Paypal for non receipt.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    PayPal will side with the seller. It is very unlikely the seller won't have obtained proof of postage. That will say the parcel was posted to the address supplied by the OP. Its not the sellers fault no house number was provided and the parcel has got lost.

  • PayPal will side with the seller.

    Why?
    The seller only had 2 options.

    1/ Send to the ebay registered address (which was the one that had the house number missing), in which case their seller protection won't apply as they didn't use the paypal registered address.
    or
    2/ Send to the Paypal registered address (which showed the full and correct address).
    If the package doesn't turn up then no proof of delivery will exist so the buyer is entitled to a full refund.
    That will say the parcel was posted to the address supplied by the OP
    For paypal seller protection to apply, the goods must be sent to the paypal registered address and not an address given by the buyer.

    Nonsense - the seller has to prove delivery - buyer can't lose.

    You are out of date by about 10 years- paypal will find for the buyer.

    Drives us sellers to distraction sometimes as regardless of what a buyer does we lose out unless we prove delivery to the address supplied by paypal- but that's how it works.

    Thats because it's the law, its what any judge would find, and its the law because it's right!

    If the seller want to nominate Mickey Mouse to deliver a parcel on a broomstick it's up to them - the buyer has a right to expect the goods they've paid for (just like in a shop) - how it gets to them *is not* and should never be their concern

    There is simply no 'grey area' about delivery - delivery is something a 'distant' seller has to 'deal with', for being "distant"

    If Paypal/Ebay have ever reached any other possible conclusion in the past they were bang wrong!

    So what you are saying is that if the buyer asks a seller to post to an address for instance "Button Moon". Then the seller sends the item to "Button Moon". It is in fact the sellers fault that the buyer doesn't live at "Button moon"?

    This is the debate being mentioned in the thread, Not whatever you're rabbiting on about!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    You've quoted me totally out of context

    I responded to a specific comment with a specific fact - you need to read it in that context and not in "any old" context that suits your argument
