When you order product using your credit card, PayPal checks the address you enter to see if it matches the address that your credit card bill is mailed to. If they do not match then PayPal rejects your order completely. This is because lots of credit card fraud occurs by having products shipped to the address of the person who stole the credit card instead of to your address. The crook steals a credit card, orders products and has those products shipped to the crooks' address and you don't know anything about it until you get your credit card bill.

This works great for those people that have products shipped to their home address and their credit card bill is also mailed to that same address. But some people use their personal credit card to order products for business. In those cases they want the product shipped to their office but the statement is still being mailed to their home address. This normally would be a rejected order due to the two legitimate, but different, addresses.

The way to get around this is with an Alternate Shipping Address. You can add an Alternate Shipping Address to your credit card so that orders will be accepted at both addresses. The alternate shipping address does not have to be your business address but is used here simply as an example.

Simply use the toll-free number on the front or back of your card to contact your credit card company and create an Alternate Shipping Address which is simply a note on your account authorizing purchases that are delivered to a destination other than your billing address. With the Alternate Shipping Address feature in place, you can have credit card orders shipped to two different addresses but your credit card bill will continue to be mailed to the original billing address.

Add the Alternate Shipping Address to your credit card account before placing your order. After your credit card company has updated your credit card account, you can then order products with your credit card and have them shipped to the alternate shipping address.
