kaptainkarl2,
I know how annoying it is not to receive the item you are expecting. I had this same thing happen to me before I became an employee of PayPal. Since I have been here, I have learned the reason for the majority of these mis-shipments.
When a payment is made from a site where a person may have a profile or entered in their shipping information in the past, that site will provide that shipping address to PayPal to be combined with the payment.
For example, on eBay a person's profile has both a contact address and a shipping address. If the contact address is updated but the shipping address is not, the shipping address for your eBay items may still be inaccurate.
Please double check the shipping addresses for any sites you may be purchasing from to make sure the item is shipped to the correct address. If this is not the case, please contact PayPal directly and we will be more than happy to help diagnose why this may be happening.
Hope this information helps out!
