This only confirms my original complaint. Not one of 4-5 "Support" agents has mentioned such when I have called. They've said that the buyer needs to phone PayPal in Vietnam (they gave me the number to pass to him) to "walk him through" achieving a pure ship-to California address (he has a business there that then sends it to him in Vietnam). Then, by phone, PayPal Vietnam asked him to email them info, including video, as to how he has tried to get the California address added to his Ship-to list, so they could advise him how to get around the "glitch," their word (or a close translation of). So the left hand at PayPal does not know what the right hand is doing. And both buyer and myself have wasted a lot of time and energy . And if, as you say, one cannot ship anywhere in the world one wants using PayPal, it's shocking, actually. I wonder how much business PayPal loses as a result. In any case , why could the buyer not simply Gift me the money, and then I ship the item anywhere I darn please? Oh, right, then the buyer is not covered. Impasse, and check-mate. But still, if "Support" is anything to go by, it all ends with a big question-mark.
