| I live in country "A", and most of the time I order Lego items to an
address found in here. But occasionally, I want to send some Lego to an address
found in country "B", to a relative of mine. When I order, it's possible
to change delivery address in the form, but there I cannot change country. Instead,
I have to mess in the profile menu to change the default address to my relative's
address. (And after the delivery, back to my address). Or another way to do is
to inform the seller to send the Lego items to another address which differs
from what is in the order form. If the seller accidentally omits that information,
(s)he ships that package to me, which I don't want in that case as mentioned
before. And this situation is a nuisanse for both the buyer and seller, and may
lead to unnecessary bad ratings. Please, change this feature.

The simplest way is for your relative to open an account in their country.

I voted "yes" because this would actually be easy to do (also tax-wise).
However, there is still the hurdle "Paypal". Each seller is required
to send to the address that is registered with Paypal.

Actually, Paypal didn't make any hurdle: after I'd submitted my order,
I had to log in to Paypal, and a form appeared asking me that I wanted to pay
for ... seller ... money, and there in the form was the the other address, (which
isn't registered with Paypal). Everything went smoothly. (All 3 countries
are in the EU: a) the seller's, b) where I live, which is registered with
Paypal, c) and where I wanted the seller to send the Lego). Before that, I'd
contacted the seller to prevent any possible problems with Paypal.

| You could also before placing the order, write a message to the seller, asking
him (or her) the possibility or not to do that.
I had once or twice sellers who wanted to make gifts for friends in other countries.
No problem for me. The buyer paid for everything, I refunded him a little because
the shipping was cheaper than if I would have shipped to the buyer's country,
and I finally send the order to the lucky receiver.

Yes, it works but there are two problems with it from the buyer's perspective:
a) the buyer has to wait until the seller answers.
b) because this is a marketplace, someone could grab the item while I'm waiting
for the seller's answer.
It involves more work, communication from both part than necessary.
