... well, until it hit critical mass, that's when. In a post on the official eBay blog, eBay admitted the problem, but it had been posted about in the forums for quite some time.
What's happening is when checking out, PayPal is filling out the "ship-to" address incorrectly. Although eBay says this is only affecting "a very small number of purchases," I must just be unlucky then, as I noticed an issue in my address when making a purchase over the weekend, though I don't know if it was related.
Because the problem was deemed to be minor in terms of numbers, this problem was never posted to the System Announcements board (where you would expect it to be posted).
I'm wondering what will happen to any sellers whose Feedback is affected negatively by these issues. That's usually not easy to retract (though I have 100% positive feedback, it's almost all due to buying, not selling, so I could be wrong).
