I wrote Ebay about a nonresponsive buyer, only 6 days, but my concerns were he has a location of France on my winning auction page and US on his feedback page. The notice I got when he won the auction gave his address as Paris, France. I was just confused as to how a person can have two very different locations, so I emailed Customer Support. Here is a portion of the answer, the rest was just form letter crap.
"After I reviewed the information you provided, I determined that your
buyer has United States address. However, their shipping address is
indeed located in France."

Well... perhaps he's an American working in Paris as an ex-pat? I worked for a French bank for 6 years, and we'd regularly send Americans to Paris for a year or two (or more).

Can you pull his contact information and see what kind of phone number he has?

I sold something yesterday to the exact same situation. Before the buyer bid, they wanted to know the price of mailing to France and the US. I think that sometimes people have a parents home in the US, but are working in a different country.

I once sold a postcard with a oil industry connection. The email of the buyer had a China suffix which worried me a bit. When I got the mailing address it was to a Texas oil company. Must have been an employee working in China who got his mail forwarded.

I sold an old Catholic book to a priest working for two years in the Vatican. He had an American shipping address.
