The  interesting thing here is this latest eBay/PayPal mess is the result 
of  scamers using the gullibility of eBay buyers and the governments 
(state  and federal) desire to get their tax money.  The stung buyers 
have  howled loudly for "the government to do something" and the 
government has  taken notice of all of the people who have run off at he 
mouth about how  much money they make.  So, if over 10,000 gross goes 
through your  eBay account the feds will be notified on a 1099. And by 
driving most of  the business through PayPal they have records now and 
bureaucracies love  paper.

And the bottom line is that he cost of doing business for both  the buyer 
and seller has increased quite a bit on eBay due to  this.

And, yes your confirmed address is your billing address unless  you call 
your CC company/bank and add your shipping address as an  alternate. 
Then change it in PayPal.

>> I  use western union all the time with international business. It is safe 
because  you pick up the cash, sent in your name, before you ship anything 
out. It is  far safer than a check or money order, and is commonly used when 
doing  business in south america. There are several countries there that don't 
have  paypal, by the way.
