Is This Okay?

Buyer asked me to send to different address before he paid. I said no. He had a strange story about Ebay blacklisting his address so he couldn't change it on the site but then he suddenly changed his mind and changed his address on Ebay and Paypal and paid by paypal. The address is confirmed on Paypal but he is only using initials not a full name. I know that sellers don't have much protection anyway but am I okay to send to the address that has been changed on both sites rather than to the address I originally received prior to payment?

    Have a read of the postage sticky thread. It is the paypal address that matters, nothing else, and then really only if it is going tracked .

    As long as sellers comply with paypal rules they will have full seller protection.
