Why payment screen says "ship to"?

[scottastx]

I am paying for a resort with paypal and they provided a link in my email. When I clicked on the link it brings me to the paypal website, I sign it and then it shows all the payment information. The only thing that seems odd is that I'm not shipping anything but it says "Ship to" and then has my name and address. Is this just a default setting or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Scott

PayPal is not a good way to pay for services.  A credit card is a better way and has a lot less risk.

When using PayPal you are paying for goods/services and PayPal expects the seller to ship goods; that's why you need your shipping address.  However, the seller will not be shippinging anyting, so there will be no proof of service delivery.

You really should check the web site of the service seller and make sure that the seller will manage refunds as relying on PayPal for such is risky.

Thanks for the reply and caution. I called PayPal and they confirmed the same information you did and also checked out the website for the resort. They confirmed it was legitimate and said we shouldn't haven't any issues.
