Default 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.

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.

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.

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

Happens to everyone.

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

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.
