Can you do a one-time-change of address to purchase an item from seller who doesnt...
 

Hello, my fellow stealthers! Miss ya much! I was wondering if it was possible to do a one-time-change of address to purchase an item from a seller (large company on ebay) that doesn't ship to PO Boxes. The address I can give is not one that I have ever had or associated with any of my ebay accounts. I tried emailing the seller about changing the listing so that I can purchase and email my home address, but havent received a reply and it is down to only one of the item left. I dont expect a response for another couple of days to be honest and understandably so. Or is there another way of doing it? Thanks!

You can add a new, alternative shipping address to your eBay account, and that will be imported into your PayPal account as well. So the seller shouldn't have a problem shipping there once you add it to your eBay (you can do this at payment time if you wish).

Your original ("registration") address will still remain on your account, as this is just another delivery address that you will be adding.

Using Elijah's method works well.

It saves the need to remove/alter existing info.

Just add the new address & you are OK.

When you make payment, double check you do nominate the correct postal address.

Awesome! Thank you so very much for your time and help.....off I go with fingers crossed! :)

I wont ship to non listed addresses so I tell people all the time to just go in and add the additional address and I will ship it to your friend, parent etc.

dang nabbit!!! Just clicked on "add an address"....then it said....."Please update your address to add a phone number"....what is that all about??????

Got that one myself before, I just added the same phone number.

Snow birds use two addresses and the same phone number all the time.

When they are up north or in Florida etc works all the time for them.

Your dont want to update your address.

You want to ADD an address.

Thanks! I did click on "add a ship to address" on the check out page of the item I am trying to purchase. The account has been up and running and used daily since 2010 (thanks lakeman ;)) so I have to fish and find the original info.....when i click on my personal info on ebay it has most of the phone number XXX'd out. hmmm....

When changing to adding ANY info you need all of your original info right in front of you.

I am sooooo dense! I hate that the only time I get a chance to get on here is after a looooonnnnnnng day. The phone number is posted right there when I try to "add an address" on my PO Box address!.....found this out AFTER I had the genius idea of logging onto paypal for my phone number. God Lord, sleep is a one thing we should not do without :faint:

Happens to everyone.

Wait until you pull an all nighter. Every name, number etc looks the same.

Well did it! Clicked on "buy it now".....went to pay....added ship address....and same phone#....selected that as shipping method for "this purchase only"....and payment went through successfully! Already got feedback from them (automatic)....so hopefully I will get my item and keep my stealth account,lol! ;)

Quick tip:

leave this address on file for at least 6 months.

Next time ( & in fact any other time) you are using using a shipping address, check twice that you use the correct one.

Once the chargeback period is over ( 7 months or so) techincally you could delete this address.... but that's your choice.
