Well, I sent the buyer a message this morning letting her know the status of the package. I did take your advice and give eBay a call and was rather surprised by the response. Basically, they said that if there's a situation where the buyer requests a different address through messages, it is okay to ship to that address and they will lose their buyer protection (but you will keep your seller protection). That was not at all what I expected, as I thought mailing packages to a different address was considered a major red flag? In any event, at this point I just need to wait for the buyer to send me a message back, and/or for the package to get sent back to me before I can do anything else.Thanks for your help!
That is really interesting!I had something similar happen, where a buyer had moved and did not update their shipping address in PP.They had asked it to be sent to the new address( it had already been shipped).I talked to paypal on the phone maybe a month ago? They told me sending it to any other address than the one confirmed on PP and I would have lost all seller protection.I hope everything works out for you!

To be honest, it still seems much safer to me just to stick with the address provided by Paypal checkout. Relying on message traffic in case of an eBay dispute just seems like a really iffy proposition.
