I think the Illinois address is the eBay international shipping hub. So they will handle the forwarding of the item to the buyer. Maybe do the eBay chat to verify with a rep, but that’s all that is. You get it to that hub and your job is done.

It used to be Erlanger, KY. Did that change?

They have multiple hubs. The KY may still be one, maybe for the “global” shipping and the IL address is one for “international” shipping.

No, you're not being scammed. But you should still tell the buyer you can only ship to the address on file.

Just ship to the Glendale, Illinois address and you'll be covered as that is the eBay International shipping hub. Always only ship to the address provided by eBay.

Also, be aware that sometimes scammers will send messages to sellers of recently sold items and say they were the buyer and need the item shipped to a different address - when in actuality they are a totally different eBay account and had nothing to do with the transaction. Surprisingly, some sellers don't verify nor notice that the sender of the message is not the actual buyer and follow through with sending to the scammer's address.

Again, only ship to the address provided by eBay and you'll be covered by the seller protection policy.

Default Ebay International Shipping
You wil be fine as long as you send it to the address shown on your Ebay label. International shipping is really a good thing for sellers, but it does cost the buyer more. As mentioned above, when the item reaches the Illinois hub, your job is essentially done, and it is Ebay's responsibility to get it to the overseas destination. At least that is how I under the process.

Semi-related: eBay Global shipping is awful. Ridiculously high "import fees" paid by the foreign buyer are much higher than what it actually costs to get the items over the border. eBay is just pocketing the difference. I refuse to participate; they get enough of our money. Thankfully, working around these restrictions is a fairly easy process.

I've said this for a while now and is a big reason why I no longer purchase cards from American dealers who use it.
I understand the reasons some sellers use but I also know many have been tricked/coerced into using it.

Fees, that I see for me range anywhere from $25 CDN all the way up to and sometimes over a $100 dollars. It makes zero sense how they decide what shipping fees should be.
