Thats just silly and completely unnacceptable. Why can't PayPal allow American bank account holders to use non-US shipping addresses??? Not just for my situation, but I'm sure there are thousands of people who shop online for gifts for relatives in foreign countries. Why do I have to do summersalts and work-arounds to send overseas when this problem is PayPal's? It SHOULD be fixed on PayPal's end. If vendors allow direct purchasing by credit card to foreign address with US billing addresses - including ebay. There is no reason that PayPal can not not fix this problem with their web site. And my situation does not allow any of your options anyway. What ultimately happens is that PayPal will lose more and more business from expat customers and first and second generation Americans. How many people is that? What is the profit loss for PayPal for not fixing a simple bug with it's web site that is causing the loss of these customers???
