Also, forgot to mention: I've never changed my default shipping address to my niece's address. I checked my account, and it only has one address in my profile - my own home address. ... View more

PayPal refuses to accept my real shipping address ...

This happened to me a couple of times recently: I'm on a website, (today it was a donation), and select PayPal as the payment option, a PayPal dialog opens, but it's showing my niece's address as the "Shipping" address (even though I'm just donating money to a charity - this has nothing to do with my niece). I click on "Change" and select my actual home address from the dropdown menu - which shows 4 addresses that appear to be familiar, including two for my niece (??). After selecting it - INFURIATINGLY - the shipping address STILL SHOWS MY NIECE'S address. I give up and just make the donation with her address, because what the heck else can I do? -- but now my donation receipt from the charity shows MY NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS, but MY NIECE'S HOME ADDRESS. In order to get corporate donation matching I have to fraudulently falsify this receipt in order to comply with their requirements. Worse, it's just freaking broken.  ... View more
