shipping to a 3rd party address

I just got paid for an order but the shipping address is one of those "3rd party" ones.  Is it ok to ship it? I do not want my PayPal account compromised.

shipping to a 3rd party address

Is the shipping address the same as what is on your eBay and Paypal screens? If it you are OK. If it is foreign buyer sending it to a U S freight forwarder you are usually OK there too.

 

But if they paid for it and then sent you a different address it is potentially a problem.

 

Red flags include a fairly expensive item, especially electronics.

 

I have done it sometimes on fairly common and inexpensive items with no problem. But you are completely within your rights to tell the buyer it MUST be shipped to the address on your Paypal and eBay screens. Otherwise you a ripe for a rip off (Never received it).

 

"Spidey-senses" are usually correct.
