Check your PayPal profile
 

Heads-up - I made an online purchase yesterday using PayPal. I entered my home address for shipping and the same address for billing. Once the transaction was complete, I got a pop-up saying that the address I'd entered for shipping was not my preferred address and was I sure I wanted to use the address I'd entered? Well, yes.

I then went to my PayPal profile to see what on earth was going on and why my preferred address would be something other than my home address. Quite a surprise - I found an address in Indonesia and two addresses in Ohio along with my own address.

I've notified PayPal, but all I got was instruction on how to remove the false addresses with no concern about how they got there. I Googled "unknown addresses in PayPal profile" and apparently I'm not the only one.

Thank you for the info.

Thanks for telling us about this!

Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you. Will check mine

Omg. I will check immediately. Thank you.

Wow that is concerning.. Thanks so much for the heads up on this.

I checked my account, all is well there.

I sometimes wonder where some the ladies here shop or browse around the internet. That causes so much commotion with you accounts :bank, paypal, ebay, credit cards etc.

Usually if something is amiss on my bank statements it's operator error. And I correct it immediately.
I can't ever recall anything of mine ever hacked or personal info changed without me doing it.
Maybe it has a lot to do with the fact I don't participate in any of the social networking things. If you can't call me or email with gossip or family info. Then I am out of the loop.....LOL

I removed my card from my PayPal account. The account is still open and I can manually add the card any time I want to use the account. It's an extra step and a bit of a pain, but PayPal seems to be having lots of trouble recently so I think it's worth it.

i stopped using my paypal account long ago. sometimes that is inconvenient when i want an item and paypal is preferred, but i just pass by the item then.

chasinghawk... i love your last lines.
