Changing address for ebay/paypal - easy or hard?

[Thunderwing]

I am going to be vacationing in the USA, and staying at my brother in law's house.
I usually live in Canada.

I would like to buy some things on ebay (namely, ponies) and have them shipped to his address. Is this possible? Can I change my shipping address/country in ebay, and then change it back later?

For eBay purchases, PayPal always uses the address from eBay.
 
So, you need to change the default shipping address on eBay, not on PayPal.  Changing your address on an eBay payment doesn't change anything in your PayPal account. Here's how to change your address on eBay. You can remove addresses there if you're not going to use them again, and make sure that the correct address is shown as the default shipping address so you won't have to worry about it.

Go to My eBay > Account
Click Addresses.
Click Change next to the address you want to update.

But just to make sure you can log into Paypal and change it there also.

Click on the 'profile' tab
Click update email
Check another address
Click 'make primary'
Confirm

I've had no problems doing this at all (I have shipping addresses in several countries )

Thanks for posting the info already Ponylady    I don't think you should run into any issues Thunderwing

That shouldn't be an issue! I recently moved and changing addresses on eBay and PayPal was much easier than changing it for anything else, honestly.

Wow, I had no idea it was that simple!  No wonder ebay is a target for thieves.

Address changed, first pony purchased! I'm loving this. Shipping to the US was only $1.75. Shipping to Canada? $15. This gives me much more buying power.
