Paypal apparently changed its address system--for the worse!. For years I bought items on ebay, paid with paypa,l and successfully shipped the packages to my children at various addresses and locations, due to them moving numerous times. (One was even living in Europe last year and I bought bedding, dishes, office supplies, towels, etc. for her). Today I made an emergency purchase to replace a stolen camera just before a lengthy overseas business trip. However, Paypal refused to allow me to adequately address the package, which was being sent to a business, with a suite number, and attention: person receiving camera's name. The new automatic system re-arranged the address, deleted the suite number, mixed lines together, what a mess. Each time I went to correct Paypal's errors, I had to re-enter the phone number (why?). After 10-12 tries, I was able to finally trick the system by using dashes and omitting spaces. Then, the confirming paypal email cut off2 of the 3 numbers in the suite number. And I had to send a message to my seller that paypal mangled theshipping address. What a mess! Please paypal, tell me you will fix this!
