I sold 3 ring door bell to the same buyer. When I went to check shipping, he has them being shipped to 3 names having different addresses. He paid for them first so he didn’t message me or anything about asking me to change address. He hasn’t messaged me at all.
He has a lot of bad selling reviews saying he’s a scammer and the buyer never received item.
should I proceed and ship to the 3 different addresses?

The sale makes me think it's all one transaction. How did the buyer give you 3 addresses (without a message), if that is the case? I'd hesitate to ship to anyplace besides what is shown on the order... the buyer can forward them.
If it is 3 separate orders, I don't find it odd... the buyer could be outfitting the whole family. Proceed with caution...

Sorry just to clarify, I had a listing for three ring doorbells. He purchased each one individually so when I checked my items to ship each one had a different name and address buy all were purchased by the same buyer and he has bad selling seller feedback

Mail them to the addresses shown on ebay's order page and you are covered.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking and I’d be covered. Thanks

Are any of his recent sales ring doorbells? 🙂

Looks like they are over a year old so it doesn’t show what was sold.

Gee, is it possible that the buyer was buying one for herself and shipping two others as a gift to her two daughters?
You know, when I want to send my Aunt Millie a sweater, she lives in Seattle and I'm not, I just enter her address in the "ship to" section of the check out page. This is perfectly legal and I am not doing anything nefarious.
So a seller is "protected" by eBay when they ship to the address on the order. When the seller is NOT protected is when they change the address to something other than that on the order. (some scammers will attempt to get seller to change it after the sale - this is a no-no).
Also sellers who cancel a sale because they don't want to sell to a person, could be reported by the Buyer and receive defects on their account for policy violations: misuse of 'something wrong with address.'
