Potential Paypal-method? #1
I came across this on another forum:

” So I was once scammed on the good old eBay selling by falling into the trap of sending the item to a different address as requested by the buyer. Long story short, the seller is only covered by PayPal’s seller protection if they send it to the address listed on the PayPal account at checkout, so the seller always looses if they send it to the different address, regardless of if eBay/PayPal can see in the messages that the buyer requested it.
I completely forgot about this until I noticed that when checking out with PayPal on currys direct, the address on the PayPal at checkout was my other address I use, and was different to the one I entered at checkout on the currys website. So I made the purchase, waited for delivery (dpd) and then opened a PayPal case for DNA. I won, as it was not delivered to the correct address on the PayPal.

Myself and a few others have tested this on a few websites since, including a full set of tyres for my car and every time (5) I win, so the method is best suited to large stuff like tyres, cookers etc.

Method:
In checkout on the merchants website, enter 2 different addresses for the billing (A) and delivery address (B). Delivery address  is where it will get delivered to, and billing is the address that will transfer over to the PayPal checkout.
Then open the PayPal case for not received and you should win as the product was delivered to B when in PayPal’s view, it should have got delivered to A as that was the address on the PayPal checkout and is the address that is covered for seller protection.”

Any ideas about this? Would this work?

Doesn't it automatically change to eBay delivery address to the PayPal delivery address?
I don't see why it wouldn't.

Put simply, the OP Is saying that PayPal has an address on their system that's different to the delivery address. As such, when filing a PayPal claim for INR (Item Not Received), the buyer should win based on not receiving the goods at the address listed on PayPal's records.

Understood.

Due to "Myself" being mentioned, I thought the following sentence was your personal experience.

I think you've accidentally quoted something I never said, as me.

Looking back at my quotes, I did.

Apologies for that.
