Buying/paying from a different country, postage address same as the country where seller lives.

[ever_onward222]

Hi,

I am a buyer living in Australia.  Usually I buy from local sellers or from ones overseas while getting things posted as my Australian address.
Recently my family member moved to the UK. I would like to purchase a few items for him, this time via eBay's UK site as this way I can get them posted to his UK address while I pay no postage.  
 I will pay via PayPal.  

Is this feasible? Has anyone of you done that? What's the best way. 
Thanks

Yes; enter the delivery address details into your eBay address book, and make this the default address. Then you should have no issues in purchasing.

After the transaction, you can change the default address back to your own address.

The eBay help page to which I’ve linked also states that you can change delivery address in the checkout page.

Ebay do not accept Paypal for payments any more.  Dont know about UK but they don't here.

I know that sellers have to use Managed Payments, but unless something has changed recently buyers can still use Paypal for payments.

Still shows up for me as an option for purchases.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick guidance. It does make sense. I'll follow this procedure and see how it goes. 

About apprehensions expressed by other community members regarding acceptance of PayPal as payment mode, well that too will have to be carried out to see if works. It does work for Australian sellers.
