One would be 'seller accepts PayPal from buyer's country'
The other would be 'seller accepts PayPal from seller's country'
The first indicates that you accept cross-border PayPal, the second says you
do not.
This suggestion is a result of a growing number of orders that I have received,
where the buyer is physically in another country, has a US based re-shipper specified
as the buyer's address, but wants to pay with cross-border PayPal. Buyers
are using the address field to try to circumvent the country list that the seller
will ship to, when in reality the situation is more than where the seller ships
to, it is also a cross-border payment issue.
Thank you.

Is this because you don't want overseas buyers at all? I have customers
that live on the border of Canada and have a PO Box in the US. Many international
customers also have US orders all combined at one US shipper, usually Portland.
So is your main concern you do not want to receive payments that come from a
different country?

It isn't so much I want, or do not want, overseas customers. It's more
a side effect of accepting those payments, and that they represent a higher risk
payment from PayPal's perspective. This is not an issue about the extra 1%
fee.
The problem with BL is that there is only one address. That address is being
used to represent the shipping address. The way that BL uses that address (for
multiple purposes) makes the member look like they are physically in a country,
where they are not. BL should really have two addresses, one for the member's
actual home, and one for shipping destination. The feedback member card should
show the member's home location, not so much where they want it shipped to.
As I do not accept cross-border PayPal, the problem I'm running into lately,
is primarily with buyers in HK, JP, KR, and CN. They find a US reshipper, open
a BL account, plug in the reshipper address (US typically) and then start placing
orders. In many cases English is not their native language, so they don't
see (or understand) about the cross border payment issue, or what payment
I do accept. Turning off all the other countries does no good, because they look
like they are in the US, when they are not.
I'm asking for a way for BL to warn them off, before actually placing the
order. To do that, BL needs to know where they actually are sending payments
from, not so much where they want it shipped to.
