I have had buyers who have false shipping addresses. I send the shipping quote via invoice and when it comes to shipping the item the address is actually a completely different country where shipping is usually higher. I refunded a recent buyer's payment because of this and they gave me negative feedback. The quote was for the US and the shipping address was near Germany and about $10 more in postage,

-But- I was always given to believe that someone can not pay unless they have been invoiced for shipping to their postal address. By which I mean, if you send an invoice, the ship-to location appears on the order details before you click to send it, and so if a buyer then clicks 'Pay Now' and changes the ship-to address to a completely different location / country, they no longer have a postage quote (unless one was specified in the listing to that destination) and should not be able to pay.
If I'm right, then I would just advise to double-check the order details before you issue an invoice, if I'm wrong, then I can only advise to contact eBay about the issue (members changing delivery addresses and still being able to pay when they have not actually received a shipping quote / invoice for their postal address), which you can do via the Customer Support tab > Contact eBay.
