It is especially unfair when using Ebay...........As this is a sister company you dont even have a chance to bid, even where the seller would not be asked to ship overseas, but rather to a domestic address in the USA (or UK etc.) I reside in both the West Indies and Africa so I have been using Courier Services whenever I shop over the internet using USA or UK retailers, these Couriers take delivery on my behalf in the USA or UK and then tranship through to me. So in my case, I am NOT even asking Ebay sellers to ship overseas, but rather to ship to my courier company resident in that market/country. But I dont even have that option as things currently stand. If PAYPAL are willing to stand by the stringency of there background and verification checks, why not allow users to desigate the shipping address of their choice - alow buyers and sellers to decide on what is right for them. Heres hoping that things will change in the future - For many of us PayPal is of limited benefit.
