I think for high volume sellers it is not practical to ask each customer to verify their address before sending the package. Paypal will not cover packages that are sent to anything other than the registered address that has been supplied. I sent 50 packages out yesterday and had to make a few adjustments to obvious mistakes but I think its worthwhile for everyone to check their registered paypal address occasionally just to make sure it is correct.

We've misshipped some items, but generally this double check can save $$, embarassment, and unhappiness on the part of customers. And yes, they make mistakes with the addresses as well.

Most recent is where a buyer emailed me to ask why his poster hadnt arrived. I checked the tracking and it is saying "awaiting collection". When I emailed the buyer he said "Oh, the address I gave you was my old address. I moved six months ago"!! Some have different registered addresses with paypal and eBay and they forget to update changes. They dont realise that sellers should always ship to the registered paypal address. Another thing is that buyers provide the wrong postcode or make typos in their addresses that need to be corrected. I hate to say it but it seems to occur most often for customers in Australia! I dont think they realise that many sellers just copy and paste the address exactly as supplied so it is really important to make sure that the address is correct. Just curious if any dealers have had similar experiences.
