Mailing vs. Shipping address

Is it a Paypal policy that online ordered merchandise can ONLY be shipped to a registered billing address (or the merchant)? Haven't had this issue in the past but a recent merchant refused to ship to the address where I am (I live in my RV) so swapped billing and shipping addresses.

For paypal seller protection, a seller can only ship to the paypal registered address of the buyer at the time of the transaction.

PayPal's loss - I cannot use it for my needs. I am one of many full-time RVers who live on the road and use a mail service as their legal/mailing address. Where I am is never that address, so my shipping address is always changing. Too bad.

Safer for the seller though.
