Default Re: Does PayPal Collect Customer's Shipping Address

Thanks, Karen
Yes that is an option that I may have to use, but I don't understand why, in the creation of the "add to Cart" button, do they give you 3 shipping options and none seem to change the outcome of the button code?

The options are,(this may not be exact wording): 1) Make shipping optional; 2) shipping required; 3) shipping not required. Yet the operation of the button does not change! A response to an email to PayPal said that it is always assumed by PayPal that the "Billing Address" is the same as "shipping address". IMO that's pretty shoddy scripting to offer your customers! The cart might seem to be Free, but it actually isn't because they take a healthy cut of your sale to use it!

Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion. I'll probably have to go that way; just hate to burden the customer more than should be necessary! AND who knows if I select "shipping not required; will PayPal eliminate the little "change" link that is attached to the "shipping address" that they presently display on their "review" page?!!
