There are a number of situations where it's useful to send an invoice to your buyer:
- The buyer is purchasing several items from you, and you want to combine them into a single purchase
- You need to change some of the transaction details, such as postage charges or payment method (although this should only be done at the buyer's request)
- The buyer hasn't paid for an auction they've won, and you want to send them a reminder
Buyer wants item shipped to different address. Well there is no claim to file with eBay so thats out. I would tell they buyer they can add the shipping address to. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type.
You can't send an invoice if it's been more than 30 days since the listing ended.

How to combine payments for a buyer
When a buyer purchases more than one item from you, you can combine their purchases into one invoice. It'll save you time, and you can also offer the buyer a postage discount.
To offer combined payments, you'll have to first enable it on your account.

One of our top priorities is protecting our members so we don’t allow contact information to be used to complete sales off our site. When this happens, it poses a risk of fraud and buyers and sellers aren't covered by our protection programs if something goes wrong. If a buyer asks you to complete a transaction outside of eBay, please contact us to let us know.
