The shipping address is different from the USPS recommended address...

In the past I manually changed the address in paypal/usps shipping, but now I'm thinking, with the claims process, will I be covered if the delivery confirmation shows the item was shipped technically to another location? I have a seller who insists he lives in Miami and not Coral Gables. I live in Chesterfield, VA. and technically my address is Richmond, VA. Thanks in advance!

The address he gave:

xxx xxx xxx
Miami, FL 33146
United States


The paypal/usps message:

Please note, the shipping address is different from the U.S. Postal
Service's recommended address. The U.S. Postal Service recommends this
shipping address:

xxx xxx xxx
Coral Gables, FL 33146
United States

We suggest contacting the buyer to confirm their correct shipping address.

I have wondered the same thing. I have always just changed the address and I've never had a problem. However, I've often wondered if there was a problem and the buyer filed a claim, would I be covered?

As long as the ZIP and street address are correct it should get there. I've run into the same issue a few times before and I usually just go with what Mapquest or Google maps lists as the city for the given street address and ZIP.

I think the issue that the OP is worried about is not whether or not it will get their, but the issue is whether or not there is Paypal coverage if a Paypal claim is filed.

Right. I've never had a problem with the item arriving to the buyer, but this is a higher priced item and the buyer insists that he lives in Miami. I don't want him to file a claim and the DC show it was delivered to a different city.

Pretty sure that Storm has covered this and the answer is it must match what the Paypal info shows, meaning the buyer must change his Paypal info to reflect the Miami addy if you want full coverage of your rectum in the event of a claim.

If it's an expensive item, use SigCon to reduce the risk.

Technically, the PP addy governs "seller protection."

PP rulings are EXTREMELY inconsistent. Sellers/Buyers
never really know if they are covered UNTIL the claim
is decided.

..................

PP has the ability to REJECT addys that do not comport
with USPS data WHEN their customer first opens the
account. PP never uses that ability, thus, we end up
with "iffy" and troublesome circumstances like this.

The zip code is all that matters here, the city or township doesn't. If the zip code was different then it would be an issue.

A couple months back, we had a documented case on
this board where a buyer LOST an INR claim that used
the wrong ZIPCODE.


It is simply NOT possible to "know for certain" how ANY
PP-claim will be decided.

PP violates its own TOS constantly and that puts BOTH
buyers/sellers at risk. The inconsistency of their claim
decisions is TRULY amazing.
