Hi, When I have gone to book the courier the post code does not match up with what their saying their first line of address is. I have messaged them to ask them to confirm their address. My question is Will I be covered by Paypal though as obviously the address is wrong?
No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Nope. You are only covered if you send to the confirmed address.
    A smile costs nothing, but gives a lot.
    It enriches those who receive it without making poorer those who give it.
    A smile takes only a moment, but the memory of it can last forever.

    Personally I would send it to the correct address, after all your only risk is if you are up against a scammer. If the buyer does claim INR when item is showing as delivered then phone paypal and show that they agreed that the original post code was wrong and you corrected it to the correct one.

    Sometimes you have to be pragmatic, the alternative is that you refund the payment, pay the paypal 20p fee and hope buyer repays

    What is the value of the item?

    You will only be covered by Paypal/Ebay if you send to that address. Ebay may allow discretion if the buyer has messaged you with confirmed details which differ, but it's not a given.
