Anyone used PayPal lately as I just had a Payment paid in and I couldn't see or get the posting address of the buyer without having to click a link send me to shipping companies or Royal Mail then I would of had to pay PayPal for the to create a Postage Label.
Anyone had this ?.
Cheers

Can't say I've seen that feature before but then I don't tend to use PP for addresses. I ask the buyer to provide that seperately so I'm free to choose whatever shipping company I want.

Be careful with that, as if it was a Goods and Services payment then you have to be able to prove you sent it to the address that PayPal gave you (if the buyer files a claim).

That's a new one for me! I do tend to get the address from the email that PayPal sends though, rather than going into my account. It wouldn't surprise me if PayPal has a deal with certain shipping companies to direct you to them, but not letting you get an address without using the service seems pretty off (not that they're exactly 'nice' in the first place!).
