sending to a different address internationally?

[ainsleymiller08]

i am currently living in australia where its summer, unfortunately i have to leave the nice weather and move back to canada in the dead of winter. ive been buying winter clothing on ebay but i want to send purchases in the future to my mom in canada because im afraid the shipping may take too long, and im leaving in a month and a half.
is there any way to send purchases to another address internationally?

You can't add an international shipping address to your Australian PayPal account. You can ask the seller if he will ship to the address in Canada, but he is not obligated to agree. If he wants to preserve his PayPal seller protection, he is required to ship to your PayPal shipping address.

make sure to ask if the seller will agree to ship to the Canadian address before bidding or using buy it now.

Well, if you trust your mother, you could open a joint Canadian bank account with her.

Then, if she trusts you, she could add one of her credit cards to it. she might be able to add you as a second user on the card.

The idea being that with her Canadian address and your joint bank account, and her Canadian credit card, you can open a Canadian Paypal account and add it to your eBay account. Or simpler, start a new eBay Canada account.
