BKKdreaming Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We have a Thai based Ebay / Paypal account with a Bangkok address Sometimes we want to buy items from the USA that are heavy and would like to have them shipped to a USA address and brought over later in luggage These are NOT expensive things that we are trying to get past Thai customs , but since there is no surface mail out of the USA anymore anything over 2kg gets expensive . Anyway I have not figured out how to add the USA address on Ebay , and then on Paypal If you have done this are there any tips ?? thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Open another PayPal account (using another email address) and list a US address for that PayPal account, which will automatically be your eBay ship to address for the US sourced items If you do not have a US address that you can use, then you will have to obtain a mail forwarder, such as ShipIto, which will accomplish both giving you a US address for PayPal and also a transhipper to get your items to Thailand via USPS if you don't want to wait for luggage http://www.shipito.com/ I had the opposite problem that when I shopped at eBay and wanted to ship to Thailand I could not unless the seller shipped Internationally , so I opened a Thai PayPal account and use that when I want to purchase items to be shipped here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKdreaming Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 We have money in the Thai Paypal so do not want to pay the commision to send it to new USA based Paypal just to buy stuff.... I hope there is a way just to add a USA mailing address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The two PayPal accounts will be completely separate, that is why you must use a different email account. PayPal rules prohibits your having two accounts with one email address, the work around is different email account for each PayPal account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I hope there is a way just to add a USA mailing address No there isn't. EBay is owned by PayPal so their rules are complimentary. If you read most EBay listings they usually state in the shipping terms that they will only ship to your "verified" PayPal address Edited April 30, 2015 by Langsuan Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKdreaming Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 I know you can have 2 "verified USA addresses" on one Ebay account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKdreaming Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ok.....but does anyone have a Thai Ebay account with a USA shipping address and a matching Paypal as most sellers will only ship to Paypal address I tried to add a USA address on the Thai paypal and there is not a drop down box for countries , it only gives you a Thailand option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
