To clarify: Who block the transaction exactly? Who sent you the email? And what is "DOF"?

 

"purchased some stock from ebay using paypal, and messaged the seller the shipping addresess for the buyers"

 

You do realize that this is frowned upon/not ok. If you're buying stock, fine, have it shipped to you and then ship to the buyers yourself, since the buyers done paid for shipping or do you offer free shipping? What if the products shipped by this seller are not as described then you'll have your buyers barreling down on you with disputes. It'll be a train wreck. Sellers freak out over buyers asking to change addresses as they will lose their seller protection. Not just one address, but multiple addresses?  Too many loopholes to scam this seller with and the seller has to do the work that you should be doing for your customers?

 

You have no choice but to explain the purpose of the transaction. 

 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
