notice of the shipping address when deciding which bids to block and only refers to the main address where the account was first registered... that might seem counter intuitive to the way you would think that it works... but that is definitely the way that ebay originally implemented this feature. <br /> <br />Evidence would have to constitute a bid being blocked, followed by a change of shipping address and then a successful bid, anything less than that doesn't prove that a restriction is in place that can be circumvented with a quick change of your details. <br /> <br />Presumably if they were going to change the way they do this ebay would also have to prevent you changing your shipping address until you have paid for all items that you have won... otherwise you could just win things, change the shipping address and then demand that the seller sends it there... even though the seller specifically placed restrictions to prevent that happening. <br /> <br />... and if ebay is going to place restrictions on changing shipping address at certain times that is going to cause problems to any automated process that tries to implement what you are suggesting. <br /> <br />I think there is a lot more evidence that would need to be presented before anyone spends any more time looking at this. <br /> <br />... and, in any case, I presented a relatively simple work around in my first response on this thread... it isn't difficult to set up alternate ebay ids for different purposes.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img
