 mail forwarders ok but choose carefully
I know this was addressed to nek but all you have said about paypal is correct, if call code doesnt work it goes to address.
I know the address company nek is referring to, I think, any address that you can type in to google and it comes up as a mailing forwarder is risky, and this particular one does just that, so bear that in mind when choosing. You can get some whose address dont come up as such on searches, ie they have their own advertising address but the other different address details only go out to box purchasers, you will find that a search on these other addresses that are not on their website will come up with other companies who have purchased a box and are advertising their businesses - but this is preferable (except alot put po box, which blows the cover!), as it could just be an office building and thats not frowned upon necessarily.
Another issue is, it will have literally thousands of ebayers registered to it, and some of them will become suspended users, so whatever you pay for a mailing address, there is always a risk of being flagged, but of course less so if you stay completely under the radar with low priced, slow selling, non branded goods. Have another address ready for if they ask for your home address, because if noticed, you wont be able to say you live there , the best you can say is its your work or business premises.
I am not saying you cant use forwarders, just choose carefully and remember they are not as good as a unique address, non publicized address.
If you are limited later on and say they ask for a bank statement/utility bill, and you put that address on it, they could either say yes thats fine or no this is a work address what is your home one, or provide more business info for your company.
Sorry to worry you, but I learnt this through trial and error, I had to give a different address and say it was home and verify it, very swiftly but got away with it, to avoid further documentation requests, although with what I know now i could have probably overcome them, but this was a few months ago. It was a premier account and possibly as business account might be more appropriate.
In a way, the more you pay for a mailing address the more exclusive it will be, and that legitimate business will be using it rather than cheap ones that any ebayer can get their hands on for disposible accounts.
