Can I buy/win???

[corky2016]

Once my I add a new credit card to my new seller's account, (EB and PP), can I purchase items from my new account? My PP is all set up with new credit card But the shipping address for anything I buy/win on EB is <obviously> is not were I would want my purchase to be shipped to...

This almost happened to me: With me fresh new account I was building trust by normal activity- bidding, watching, searching etc.. BUT I almost accidentally won a item that I was "Bidding" on. What would I do if I won?... My new PP is all set up, but obviously, the my stealth home address is not where I would want a won/purchased item to go?

Pretty sure you don't have to make automatic payment, if you win the item?

You can always message seller and explain that you won the item and really want it, but will leave for a holiday/business trip for couple of weeks and that you would greatly appreciate if they could send it to your family member/friends address because you have bad experience with lost parcels when you keep it in your local depo for too long... usually sellers are quite happy to do it because lets be honest: nobody cares what address they ship it, they just want the money. Pretty simple.

Thanks for that answer... I had the same thought. As a seller in the past I would ship to a paid buyer on the moon if he asked me..... That's what I will try. I just got concerned that EB will get interested in me if my first purchase also included a request to ship to my "Summer home".....

also....as a follow up to my reply to your reply. I buy a lot from EB. Wouldn't it look strange to EB is every single purchase I make includes a request to ship to a same different address each time?
