I live near a country border and have an address in both countries where I can collect parcels. Depending on the shipping costs, it's more economical to ship to country A or country B. The only way to have an order shipped to address A or address B, is to update my address details on my profile. This used to work fine, albeit it's a bit cumbersome. Since some time (recently?), when I change my address on BrickLink, I must go through the seller verification process again, even though I changed it only from a buyer point of view. I wasn't meaning the change my official store address. So my suggestion/request is one of the following: Option 1 - Allow any buyer to enter any shipping destination in the checkout process, just like 99% of webshops allow to do so. Option 2 - Each account should have a buyer and a seller address. Only when changing the seller address, a new store verification is required. Thanks for considering any of these options.
