  A warning to sellers not to just blindly trust the shipping address supplied
by PayPal. Always check the Bricklink shipping address, and if there's a
difference, check it with the buyer.

I was using the immediate payment feature and when the Paypal dialog came up,
it showed an old address (one I haven't used in 10 years) as the default
shipping address. When I clicked on the drop-down, it offered up around 20 different
addresses; a few old ones, many more malformed or mixed-up addresses. I picked
the right one that matched my Bricklink address, my current listed Paypal address,
and the address of the credit card I'd be paying with. Yet when I check the
transactions in Paypal, it still sent the old address that it decided was the
'default' anyway.

I don't know if Bricklink has any control over that part of the form, or
if it was all down to Paypal, but it seems the address Paypal supply for the
transaction is not to be trusted.

we never ship out to the paypal listed address unless it by chance matches the
address the buyer supplied on the actual order..

... if you have over 20 addresses available for you on Paypal in a Drop Down
Menu, you need to call paypal and sort that out sooner than later. you should
only have 1 shipping address that is verified. if you have multiple addresses
listed, you need to delete them or call paypal directly & have them removed.
leaving them on there only opens yourself up to possible hacking or account manipulation.

@Russell, if you or somebody is looking into it, the search suggestions seem
to be returning a list of generic results. After searching and pressing enter,
the page returns correct results.
